Marissa Jaret Winokur will be back on Broadway in the play Hairspray in little over two weeks. So to prepare she took her baby boy, Zev, to one of her voice lessons. It’s so cute how Zev loves to hear Marissa’s voice.

Marissa Jaret Winokur was spotted with husband, Judah Miller, and son, Zev, at The Camp Ronald McDonald 16th Annual Family Halloween Carnival Held at Universal Studios on Sunday. Zev sure has some cute bling on his bib!

Yesterday, we got to see what baby Zev finally looked like. Today, we can see the home movie that Marissa Jaret Winokur posted on her MySpace of her darling little boy. Zev must love that his mom sings to him all the time. The person that is interviewing Zev is his Uncle Ryan. Very cute!

Marissa Jaret Winokur and husband, Judah Miller, welcomed baby, Zev Issac, at the end of July and now we finally get to see what he looks like!

“My friends don’t want to come over anymore because all I do is cry,” says Marissa.

Zev, is a miracle baby to her and her husband because of the cervical cancer she had. Marissa had to have her uterus and cervix removed because of the cancer but she still had her ovaries so with the help of a surrogate Zev was created.

“I was as involved as I could be with the baby. I went to all the doctor’s appointments and I talked to my surrogate every day. [We were in the delivery room] breathing together during the 12-hour labor. It was a real family event. We will be friends forever.”

Marissa describes Zev as perfect and already at ten weeks sleeps through the night. (He’s been sleeping through the night since three weeks.) When the baby cries, Marissa already knows how to handle it…

“I have a saying: ‘When in doubt, take him out.’ He loves the water. I love giving him a bath in the sink. I can’t wait until I can take him in the pool.”

Marissa also feels that Zev is a blessing from the cancer she suffered.

“If I didn’t have cancer, I might have been able to carry a baby myself. But then, I wouldn’t have this baby. So how can I ever feel bad about having cancer? Because of that, I now have Zev.”

I love her outlook at life. She is just always smiling…Congratulations go out to Marissa and Judah, he is such a dream!

Marissa Jaret Winokur, from Dancing with the Stars, and husband, Judah Miller, welcomed their baby boy, Zev Issac Miller, on Tuesday. Zev was carried to term by a surrogate.

“He is so perfect. My little miracle baby is here, and I can’t believe it,” Marissa says.

Zev (who’s name means ‘wolf’ in Hebrew) weighed 8 lbs., 7 oz. and measured 21 inches long.

Who does he look like?

“I’d say he’s got a Winokur face and a Miller body,” says Winokur.

Zev is a miracle for Marissa and her husband. Marissa was diagnosed with cervical cancer seven years ago, and because of that, she needed to have a hysterectomy. Her ovaries were saved and her eggs were used for Zev.

“One minute I’m totally fine, and the next minute I’m overwhelmed with emotion,” a teary-eyed Winokur said. “I can’t believe I am sitting here next to my baby. This is the one thing that’s been missing from our lives. Now our house is really going to be a home.”

A special congratulations goes out to Marissa and Judah. I can’t wait to see the baby!

Marissa Jaret Winokur and husband, Judah Miller, have been getting busy for the July 22 birth of their son, Zev.

“I said to my husband, I’m like, ‘You thought you were gonna get away with not living with a pregnant woman’ but I’m the most hormonal — like every commercial makes me cry,” she said. “I’m like, oh my god, we’re having a baby!”

“I’m like so emotional and I’m like, ‘I just want everything to be perfect and done,’ and it’s like, it will never be perfect and it will never be all done,” she [said].

Marissa says her surrogate that she met through an agency, will ‘forever’ be in their lives.

“She’s, right now, my closest friend,” Winokur said. “I love that I have one best friend that I can always talk to … and she’ll never get sick of it, whereas my other friends might be like, ‘All right, we know: the baby’s coming, you’re totally stressed, we get it.’”

Marissa Jaret Winokur (recently from Dancing With The Stars) was at the top of her game in 2000, living her dream and being on Broadway when the unspeakable happened, she was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. She went on with her life because that’s they way she wanted it, getting a hysterectomy and going on to win to a Tony for her performance in Hairspray. What was the reason Marissa had cancer? HPV-a sexually transmitted virus.

Marissa now is an advocate of HPV. Something that can be caught and treated. You can totally recover from HPV, if it is caught soon enough. And this isn’t a deadly disease, you just may lose your child bearing organs because of it. Marissa speaks to people about how they can prevent the disease, she feels that if she didn’t it would be selfish of her to know the information and not help others with it.

I had a chance to attend a seminar of sorts that was held by The HPV Test people to bring out the information to everyone. I myself have had a hysterectomy (and I have found out through the seminar that I should still get tested for HPV even though my doctor said no) and I can still try to help others in getting their HPV tests. Marissa stressed that if you are over the age of 30 you must ask your doctor for the test. They won’t give it to you unless they find your PAP is abnormal…which Marissa’s was abnormal only after she found out she already had Cancer. So stress to your doctor that you are being an advocate for yourself and your health and ask for the test. (Also, I need to note, even if you have had the HPV vaccine it doesn’t mean you are 100% protected, you should still have a HPV test yearly.)

If your HPV test comes out positive it doesn’t mean you have Cancer, it means the doctor will keep a closer eye on you to prevent it. So you win in the end.

Now, Marissa got to keep her ovaries when she had her hysterectomy, and is now having a baby through a surrogate. (I also found out that she has comes to KnockedUpCelebs too, so if you are reading Marissa, HELLO!!) She said her baby boy is due in six weeks and couldn’t be more excited. You can’t help but be happy for her too when she smiles the way she does!

Go to the website, The HPV Test, and find out more information about HPV and how you can prevent getting Cervical Cancer. In the end, we’ll all be winning.

UPDATE: As part of Marissa Jaret Winokur’s ongoing pledge to herself she is wanting women to go out and pledge that they will empower themselves and get the HPV test. Go The HPV Test for more information on her pledge and see the Q&A session that I got to attend myself.

Marissa Jaret Winokur (from Hairspray, and the sixth season of Dancing With the Stars) and husband (King of the Hill Writer), Judah Miller, are expecting their first child.

Marissa survived cervical cancer seven years but because of that she has a surrogate carrying her baby. The surrogate is five months along.

“[The year] 2008 is beginning to be the best year of my life,” Winokur gushes. While being cast on Dancing’s sixth season made the actress ecstatic, the real excitement is her impending motherhood.

“I don’t care if I win or lose Dancing with the Stars because I know when the show is over I will have the best prize – a baby,” Winokur says. “After cancer I never thought I’d have a baby. This is truly the best time of my life.”

Congratulations go out to the couple!
