(Newser) – Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett became parents early this morning, welcoming Hank Baskett IV in Indianapolis. “We’re happy and healthy and enjoying every second with little Hank,” they tell E!—and they’re not the only ones celebrating. Wilkinson’s famous ex, Hugh Hefner, sends his love—and her co-girlfriends from The Girls Next Door, fellow Playmates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, can’t wait to meet the little guy.

"I think she's going to be a very, very good mom," Hef says. "She's always had great character, and the evolution of the wild kid that first arrived at the age of 18 into what she's become is really remarkable."

he must be disapointed it's not a she - probably would see it as a "down-the-line" venture. . .
