Nicole Kidman's big dream

14 January 2008 - Nicole Kidman wants to swim with whales.

The 40-year-old actress - who this week announced she is pregnant with her first child with husband Keith Urban - admits she often fantasises about travelling the world looking for adventures.

She said: "I want to go to Patagonia and see the llamas. I'd like to travel the world with my husband. I'd love to swim with whales and I'd like to climb Everest. Just joking about the last one, but it sounds good."

Nicole's representative Catherine Olim confirmed the couple's happy news earlier this week, saying: "They are thrilled."

The 'Cold Mountain' star - who has suffered miscarriages in the past - already has two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12.

She has made no secret of the fact she would like a child of her own, saying recently: "I love babies. I would say it's in God's hands. If God wills it, it will happen, right?"
