Oh, God. Here is Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett?s big OK! Magazine cover shot, with her newborn son. These are the first photos of her baby Hank Baskett IV, and they were taken very, very soon after the birth. Like, two days later. OK! Magazine even did the interview with Kendra in the damn hospital! Can a sister get a painkiller? Poor Kendra. She looks tired on the cover. I?m sending her a mental Vicodin.
World, meet Hank Randall Baskett IV ? newborn son of Kendra Wilkinson Baskett, 24, and her husband, Hank, 27, a wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts.
After initially planning a natural childbirth, the former Playboy model delivered the couple?s first child by C-section at 12:37 a.m. on Dec. 11, 2009, in Carmel, Ind.
?I was just in heaven,? the star of E!?s Kendra tells OK!. Echoes Hank, ?It was awesome.?
From their room at Clarian North Medical Center, the proud parents, who wed on June 27 at the Playboy Mansion in L.A., opened up to OK! about their big (9 pounds, 5 ounces, and 22 inches!) bundle of joy ? only in the new issue of OK!, on sale everywhere Thursday!
Congratulations! How are you feeling?
Kendra: Thanks. I have labor brain. I forgot everything that happened!
Hank: I am in straight awe, trust me.
How did you prepare for coming to the hospital?
Kendra: The good thing about being induced is that it?s like planning a trip, just very calm. We ate a huge dinner before we came to the hospital. I ate a whole batch of brownies because I was nervous. No wonder he?s 9 pounds!
What happened at the hospital?
Kendra: I was induced early in the morning; then it was wait, wait, wait. I was experiencing contractions throughout the day, and I was anxious. I kept checking the monitor every second, like ?Is it happening yet??
[From OK! Magazine]
I can?t believe OK! Magazine asked ?What happened at the hospital?? Like, ?What do you think happened, jackass?? No, Kendra is probably being nice because OK! gave her a fat payday.
It will be interesting to see the styling on this photo shoot, whenever I get around to it. Generally speaking, I like the baby issues of any magazine. I like seeing photos of some new parent cradling their child, accompanied by some cheesy, glowing interview. One of my favorite things about those issues is the styling - I prefer when the styling for the photo shoot seems low-key and blah, almost as if photographing the baby wasn?t the highest priority - and those are the photos where you can usually tell how difficult the birth was on the mother?s face. If she looks rough, I will always feel a wave of sympathy. Even though that?s what I prefer, I do find the highly styled, perfectly-lit, everything?s-white-and-antique photo shoots hilarious. Jennifer Lopez?s was a classic that way - she and Marc Anthony were actually shot prancing down their driveway with their twins in some expensive stroller. I doubt we?ll see Kendra like that.

Kendra Wilkinson went into labor yesterday, and she gave birth to a son early this morning via C-section. Kendra and husband Hank Baskett have confirmed that they are naming their son Hank Baskett IV, and the baby weighs 9 pounds, 5 ounces. Kendra gave birth in Indianapolis. Kendra had previously told US Weekly that the baby was unplanned: ?We always hinted to each other that we wouldn’t mind having kids soon. We weren’t trying, but we didn’t use a condom that night.” Kendra also admitted that her first pregnancy was very emotional, and that she was amazed by how much her boobs grew. The couple tells E! News that everyone is happy and healthy, and it sounds like everything went well:
Look what Kendra Wilkinson found under the tree this year!
The E! star and her NFL-player hubby Hank Baskett welcomed their first child together, son Hank Baskett IV, at 12:37 a.m. Friday in Indianapolis.
The wee one was delivered via C-section, weighing a robust 9 pounds, 5 ounces. (He is a football player’s son, after all.)
“We’re happy and healthy and enjoying every second with little Hank,” the proud parents exclusively tell E! News.
Hank, 27, and Kendra, 24, swapped vows in June in a glamorous ceremony at the Playboy Mansion, where the bride called home for four years?and where she met Hank (at the Playboy Scramble) in 2008.
Two of Kendra’s bridesmaids and former Girls Next Door costars, big spender Bridget Marquardt and Peep Show star Holly Madison, have also been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their pal’s little boy.
“I can’t wait to meet little Hank!” Holly told E!. “I am so excited for Kendra and Hank. They are going to have the best holiday ever!”
“This is what I call a Christmas gift that will keep on giving (and taking…lol)!!!” Bridget said in an email to E! News. “I wish both of them and little Hank Jr. a lifetime of joy and happiness! The only things I wonder…Can I help plan the birthday parties and how will they top this gift next Christmas???”
Added Kendra’s other onetime roommate, Hugh Hefner: “I send my love to Kendra, Hank and the baby on this memorable day.”
And they’ll take it.
After Hank was picked up by the Indianapolis Colts, the couple and their two dogs, Rascal and Martini, relocated from Philadelphia and are now living in the same gated community as Indiana Pacers star Jermaine O’Neal, though they plan on house-hunting in L.A. so that they can live there in the off-season.
“I never in my wildest dreams thought that little Hank would be born in Indianapolis,” Kendra told the Indianapolis Star.
“People come up to me, but it’s very different,” she said of living in the decidedly low-key (lower than L.A., at least) capital city. “They’re not all up in my grill. They’re very caring. Everybody’s been so helpful.”
Not that living in a town full of kind strangers has changed the former Playmate’s ribald sense of humor.
“I told Hank, ‘Do you know what you’re getting in your stocking this Christmas?’” she joked. “Not coal?well a little bit of that?but condoms. A whole lot of condoms. I want a little girl. In a couple of years.”
[From E! News]
Congratulations to Kendra and Hank and little Hank! Though I make fun of the old ?Girls Next Door? I don?t wish them ill, and I like how Kendra seemed to really calm down and take a step back once she got together with Hank. Granted, I may feel that way because I stopped paying attention to her, but she wasn?t as in-your-face about everything. I hope she?s happy in Indiana, and I am genuinely happy for her!

In an interview given exclusively to PopEater, Kendra Wilkinson and her husband, NFL star Hank Baskett speak with In Touch Weekly about the highly anticipated arrival of son Henry Baskett IV. As a Playboy model, Wilkinson was used to being ogled for her body. But now, seven months pregnant with a protruding belly, the former ‘Girls Next Door’ star has an understanding of what it means to feel beautiful on the inside, too. “The reason I feel so beautiful is not because of my looks, it’s because of my bond with the baby.”How much weight have you gained so far? “I have gained 40 pounds. I still have a month-and-a-half to go. I was 110 or 115 and now weigh 150.”How do you feel about the weight gain? “There are things I love about it. I love that my hips are growing, even though it hurts. I want that butt and am starting to get it, so I’m excited.”What have you been craving? “I’ve been eating a lot of breakfast - eggs, bacon and cheese sandwiches with wheat toast, a lot of waffles with peanut butter. Peanut butter is my biggest craving. I actually put bananas and syrup all over it, too. Even though I don’t usually eat much meat, I’ve been eating a lot of ribs with barbecue sauce and steak. Also, my craving for chocolate came back. I never ate it before because it gave me migraines.”What kind of dad will Hank be? “The best role model in the whole world! I am so happy we’re having a boy first because I am excited to see the relationship between little Hank and Hank. I want him to be himself, but also have the same characteristics as Hank.”Has it changed your sex life? “Yes, it’s changed our sex life — for the worse [laughs]. I am a wild girl in bed and I can’t really be that wild anymore because I have limits now. I have 40 extra pounds in my belly, so I get tired easily. But no, of course, it’s still great. I have a great man in bed, he definitely knows how to please me. But, yeah, we’ll be better after when we have more energy!”Do you feel prettier pregnant? “I have never felt this beautiful! The one thing I love about being pregnant is my skin, I used to have the worst acne. My whole life it’s been horrible - on the ‘Girls Next Door,’ it was disgusting. This is the best skin that I have ever had in my life!” What’s the best thing about being pregnant? “The greatest thing is probably just feeling like a queen. Everybody does everything for me. And Hank is always just giving me unconditional love - that different type of love that I’ve never felt before.”

She may be used the stylish digs of the Playboy Mansion, but that doesn’t mean Kendra Wilkinson is too cool for old school.
The ex “Girls Next Door” star admits that, “While Hank and I were dating we went to place called Cove Haven in the Poconos. [It’s] a couples resort stuck in the 70s and it was sooooo old school. The best part was that they take it so seriously. They weren’t trying to be funny, this place was for REAL!”
Among the resort’s amenities: a heart-shaped jacuzzi, mirrors surrounding the bed and no windows or clocks in the cavernous bedrooms.
Ms Wilkinson also added that she and Hank were, by far, the youngest couple at the resort.

He was cut from the Philadelphia Eagles roster to make room for controversial quarterback Michael Vick, and now Kendra Wilkinson’s hubby Hank Baskett has a new Midwestern gig.
The newlywed NFL stud has negotiated a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts and is expected to sign the paperwork later today (September 16).
In addition, Baskett is expected to report for practice this week and will be in action at the brand new Lucas Oil stadium in no time.
Meanwhile, Hank’s wife Kendra has been counting down the days until she delivers their first baby, with a due date in December.

I don?t really understand the intricacies of football, but I do know this: Michael Vick got Kendra Wilkinson?s husband Hank Baskett fired. In a manner of speaking at least. Baskett, who up until yesterday was playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, was let go from the team in order to make room for Vick. Who is apparently incredibly popular amongst NFL fans ? his jersey is the fourth best selling in the league.
Michael Vick can throw passes to his teammates instead of ball boys. The Philadelphia Eagles elevated Vick to the team’s 53-man roster Tuesday, a move that allows the quarterback to practice with the team. Wide receiver Hank Baskett was released to make room for Vick, who is eligible to play Sept. 27 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vick will begin practicing with the team Wednesday, though he cannot play in Sunday’s home opener against the New Orleans Saints. Vick was suspended for the first two regular-season games as the final league penalty for his role in running a dogfighting ring.
?Vick was brought in to give the Eagles another dimension on offense. He ran Philadelphia’s version of the wildcat offense and took some snaps as a traditional QB under center in two preseason games. The Eagles were heavily criticized by animal rights activists for signing Vick less than a month after he finished serving 18 months in federal prison. Dozens of protesters voiced their outrage outside the team’s practice facility the day after Vick was signed, and many fans threatened to give up their tickets.
A month later, Vick’s jersey is the fourth-highest seller in the NFL behind Brett Favre, Jay Cutler and Troy Polamalu. The league rankings are based on the sales period from April 1 to Aug. 28, so Vick ? and Favre, for that matter ? had plenty of catching up to do since both joined their teams last month.
Baskett was one of seven receivers the Eagles carried on their 53-man roster through Week 1. He became expendable after Philadelphia selected Jeremy Maclin in the first round of April’s draft and added Brandon Gibson in the sixth round. Baskett had 72 catches for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns in 48 games with the Eagles.

I feel badly for Hank. I don?t know why but I really like the guy. He just strikes me as genuine and all-around nice. Generally speaking I think Kendra Wilkinson is pretty lucky to have landed him. And to lose your spot on your team to slime like Michael Vick has got to make the whole thing Sting even worse. It is unconscionable to say that the only thing that matters is that the guy?s a good football player. I don?t care how great his skills, you do something like Michael Vick did and you don?t deserve any second chances.
I?m guessing that Kendra and Hank aren?t exactly strapped for money, thanks to their reality show. And they?ve got their first baby due in January, so he?s got a lot of other things on his plate. Hopefully he?ll get picked up by another team that eventually kicks the Eagles? ass.
Here are Hank and Kendra at the park with their dogs, Raskal and Martini, on July 25th. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.
