Blake Lively Births Half-Canadian Perfection

While you were wearing sweatpants and eating leftover Christmas cookies over the past week, Blake Lively quietly welcomed her baby. She and Canadian hubby Ryan Reynolds are now parents!

Page Six reports the actress gave birth near her home in Bedford, NY just before the new year. The little one arrived prior to its due date.

Lively and Reynolds married in 2012. But, the actress has been prepared for motherhood for quite some time. “Its something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl," she told Us Weekly in October. "I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family so it was always important to me." So, that probably means there will be more Lively-Reynolds babies to come.

For now, congrats! And, when you get a second, please tell us the name and sex of the little guy or gal.
