Playboy babe Kendra Wilkinson has welcomed a babe of her own into the world, and in typical reality star fashion, a camera crew was there to capture the moment.

Hank Baskett IV was born via c-section Friday morning in Indianapolis and weighed 9 lbs 5 oz, Usmagazine.com reports.

“Mother and baby are doing well,” a source told the magazine. “Kendra and Hank are very happy.”

This is the former Playboy bunny’s first child with her husband, Indianapolis Colts player Hank Baskett.

According to Wilkinson, E! filmed the birth, though the footage will allegedly be G-rated.

“They’ll get the moment of me holding the baby, but not coming out,” she told Us Weekly. “No way. Uh-uh. Nooo!”

Wilkinson, 24, wed Baskett, 27, at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion in a much-publicized ceremony in July. The duo recently moved from New Jersey to Carmel, Indianapolis, when Baskett got signed by the Colts.

A month prior to their nuptials, the duo, who star on the E! reality show “Kendra,” announced they were expecting.

Though the bubbly Wilkinson was excited by the pregnancy (and the McDonald’s cheeseburgers and baked goods in which she indulged), she revealed to Us Weekly that it was not planned.

“We always hinted to each other that we wouldn’t mind having kids soon,” she said. “We weren’t trying, but we didn’t use a condom that night.”

The good natured Wilkinson was candid about her difficult pregnancy, saying that she was highly emotional and cried “over everything.” The highly active reality star also lamented being unable to do much physical activity because of the back pain she suffered.

The former “Girls Next Door” star also revealed that she gained “50-something pounds) and that her famous curves filled out even more.

“I went from a size small sports bra to a size large sports bra,” she told Us. “These things just won’t stop growing!”

Wilkinson did not keep it a secret that she was looking forward to motherhood. On Dec. 2, she tweeted:

“i cant believe im having my baby in a couple days. im sooo excited i cant stand it! hope u guys r havin a good wed.. mmmwah! ”

The new mother revealed to Us that she wants her family to know her commitment is full.

“I want to make sure that my boy knows I’m there every step of the way,” she told Us. “I will be putting 100 percent of my love and time into my child.”

“Finally, in my life, I feel needed, like my baby needs me. I’m very attached and bonded.”

In November, Wilkinson and Baskett appeared in Us Weekly, showing off their baby’s nursery. The duo bought cherry-wood furniture from Bellini and planned to add a jungle theme mural to the room.

Wilkinson also revealed that the couple plans to “pimp [the baby] out” in Nike clothes, care of Baskett’s contract with the sportswear company.

“I just can’t wait for the baby to pee in Hank’s face!” she told Us.

After he was unceremoniously “let go” from the Philadelphia Eagles to make room for Michael Vick, receiver Hank Baskett has been picked up by the Indianapolis Colts! Baskett’s agent, Jim Ivler, confirmed that Hank chose to go to Indianapolis and has signed on for a one year contract.

“We got to pick and choose from among several teams,” says Ivler. “It’s not bad to be catching passes from Peyton Manning. Peyton had asked for Hank and wanted him to be there.”

Now that Baskett and his wife Kendra Wilkinson are moving halfway across the country, Indianapolis wants them to know that they are more than welcome.

“They’re gonna fit in, and I think they’re gonna love it,” Chris Gahl, Associate Director of Communication for the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, tells PEOPLE. “They’re gonna feel very embraced.”

“We have a fun side as well,” insists Gahl. “Were not just cornfields in the middle of nowhere. We’re a thriving metropolis in an urban landscape that has clubs that stay open late and celebrities who come to town.”

I have a feeling that Baskett, Wilkinson and their soon to be son (due Christmas) are going to be traveling back and forth to LA a lot!

Turns out Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson’s engagement (which we broke) to pro ballplayer Hank Baskett isn’t such a hands-down happy celebration after all. Call it Bunnygate, if you will.

As you probably were aware, plans were already majorly in the works, with Hugh Hefner’s blessing, not to mention participation, for Kendra to leave GND for her own show. “It was supposed to be Kendra, sexy and single, out of the mansion, on her own,” said a source close to the deal.

But here’s what’s gone down:

Kendra’s engagement to Hank “caught Hef way off guard,” reveals the Girls Next Door type, who insists H2 was most displeased at the rush to the altar.

“All that you see now, with Hugh saying he’s going to give the bride away, that the wedding’s going to be at the mansion, it’s bull****,” piped the close Kendra chum, who believes Playboy’s put-on-the-spot positive spin won’t really come to pass. Only time and (call me jaded) potential ratings will tell.

Sources inside Wilkinson’s camp do not blame Kendra, they blame Hank: “[Baskett] completely jumped the gun,” insists a Wilkinson colleague. “He showed up with a camera crew and proposed to Kendra on top of the Space Needle; of course Kendra said yes, she’s absolutely thrilled!” (As you can see in the exclusive-to-the-Awful-Truth snap above.)

But not Hef. Nor are the folks who are trying to turn Kendra into the next viable Pam Anderson type, only without the sex tapes.

Girls Next Door Kendra Wilkinson, 23, is engaged to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, her ex Hugh Hefner tells Usmagazine.com in a statement.

“Kendra Wilkinson has met someone who she would like to spend the rest of her life with,” Hefner tells Us. “He popped the question last Saturday.

“I have given her my blessing and will be giving her away at a very special wedding ceremony at the Playboy Mansion this coming June,” he continued.

In September, Wilkinson denied engagement rumors.

Meanwhile, Hefner’s other ex, Holly Madison (from whom he split in October), continues to heat up with illusionist Criss Angel.

The pair locked lips and held hands at the premiere of “Criss Angel Believe by Cirque Du Soleil” on Halloween night in Las Vegas.

And don’t worry about Hefner, 82: He has already moved on with 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

“I mean, Hef will always be Hef,” Wilkinson told Us recently. “You can never change him. Hef will keep going on. He’ll keep loving women, keep loving the big boobs and blondes.”
