More pictures of Sandra after the shock…

Sandra is on the cover of People Magazine, talking about the 3 1/2 month old baby and what a joy he is in her life.

Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of PEOPLE that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. Bullock, 45, and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. Their close friends and family – including James’s children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 – were essential in keeping the adoption a secret.

Then, just 10 days after the March 7 Oscars, Bullock and James separated following reports James had cheated. Bullock says she is now adopting as a single parent.

Wow! This is a bombshell of the not tattoed kind! Congratulations Sandra. No wonder she has been keeping such a low profile. Can you believe this surprise?
