Katie Holmes is resting at Tom Cruise's heavily guarded Beverly Hills estate, after giving birth to Tom Cruise’s baby on Tuesday in a Los Angeles hospital.

According to sources, Katie Holmes managed to fulfill Scientology expectations and was “as quiet as a mouse” during birth.

"You couldn't hear anything coming from the room," a hospital source who was present during Katie's labour, said.

Scientology, the couple’s religion, says that the mother should be as silent as possible, because any noise could traumatize the newborn.

 

Scientology also advises that the birth take place without any pain relief, but Katie Holmes did apparently have an epidural, New York Daily News claims.

Tom Cruise, 43, had earlier said his fiancée could have an epidural if she needed one.

A source close to Katie Holmes’ family said that the baby, named Suri, “has lots and lots of dark hair and big, blue eyes.”

Suri is the first child for former "Dawson's Creek" star Katie Holmes. Tom Cruise has two other children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
