Josselyn Sydney arrived a few weeks early, weighing in at 6 lbs, 12 oz and 20 inches when she made her debut at 1:49 am. Needless to say, Samantha will be missing the DWtS premiere tomorrow evening, despite her best intentions! In a statement, Samantha said,

Michael and I are ecstatic to have a little girl to welcome into ourlives. We can’t wait to introduce her to ourfamily and friends in the morning!

The pair announced the pregnancy in April and chose not to find out the sex until delivery. Click here for the pregnancy diary Samantha kept for Fitness magazine.

Hollywood mamas expecting new little ones in the near future were asked by People to describe their cravings.

Courtney Thorne-Smith – 39, first child due in January: It’s really sad, but I’m craving cottage-cheese.

Samantha Harris — 33, first child due beginning of October: When I seesome food on TV or someone walking down the street with something, Iwant it. I do a lot of frozen yogurt or chocolate-covered raisins. Ireally don’t discriminate with my sweets!

Drea de Matteo — 35, first child, a girl, due first week of December: A lot of Italian food, which is weird because I’m Italian and I never eat Italian food normally. I’m getting back to my roots.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck — 30, second child, due November 11th: Cheese, gluten-free cookies — I have celiac disease — a lot of chocolate and watermelon with salt and lime on it. It’s weird but refreshing. You should try it!

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon — 40, second and third children, twin boys, due end of November: No cravings, but I miss sushi like crazy.

Kim Raver — 38, second child due this fall: Every once in a while I’ll belike, ‘Oh, my son is having a cupcake. Sure! I’ll have some of thatchocolate frosting.’ But I’m definitely more aware the second timearound not to go crazy.

Last week celebrities shopped for a cause at the launch party for the posh and popular Bel Bambini boutique on Robertson Blvd. Hosted by Joely Fisher and Dayna Devon (who brought daughter Emmi, 23 months), 10% of the proceeds for the afternoon were donated to the Healthy Child Healthy World organization.

VIP Guests included celebrity parents/customers, VIP shoppers and Healthy Child Healthy World supporters including Samantha Harris, Melissa Joan Hart and her son Mason Wilkerson, Kellie Martin (daughter Maggie, 9 months, stayed home), Dr. Linda Li, Anna Getty and more. A great time was had by all. Joely’s daughters Skylar, 6, and True, 18 months, played with toys from Melissa and Doug, Melissa Joan Hart’s son Mason, 20 months, charmed everyone, and Samantha Harris showed off her bump and gorgeous glow. She is due in October — they’re not finding out the sex.

The kid friendly event featured a magician, a healthy selection of catered food and beverages from Izze Organic Soda, and several door prizes and raffles from luxury kid product manufacturers including Svan, Cariboo, Bugaboo, Stokke, Timi & Leslie, Oeuf, Nurseryworks, Lillébaby, Child, Bloom, Argington, Born Free, Litto Kids and more. Dr Linda Li was thrilled when she won one of the biggest door prizes – a brand new Stokke Xplory Stroller. Dayna and Joely also received brand new Stokke strollers in the new orange (Joely) and green (Dayna) colorways.

All the celebrity attendees received a fabulous gift bag worth more than $700, which included a Timi & Leslie diaper bag, Lil’ Dipper baby skin care, Bla Bla Kids dolls, a pair of stride rite shoes, Skincare by Monica, Besitos children fashion and accessories, Odd Rods, Godiva chocolate and more.

Bel Bambini, Italian for "beautiful baby,” is a unique and exquisite boutique where your child’s needs come first. Bel Bambini has created the largest collection of children’s fashion and furnishing in the area. This one-stop shop, located on trendy Robertson Blvd., houses the most luxurious, custom and one-of-a-kind items available for infants, toddlers and pre-teens. Past celebrity clients include Courtney Cox-Arquette, Salma Hayek, Gwen Stefani, Linda Evangelista, Halle Berry, and Mary Louise Parker.

Healthy Child Healthy World’s mission is to educate parents, and all those concerned about the welfare of children, about the preventable childhood health and developmental problems caused by exposure to toxic substances found in homes, schools and communities and to encourage the public to protect children from these toxic threats.

Emmi wears a lola et moi dress from the Spring/Summer collection, which is now on sale for $220 at the Beverly Hills Store – 310.276.LOLA, and
Target Xhilaration Jolynne rhinestone sandals in disco white ($13).  Gotta love the mixing of boutique and superstore brands!

OK! caught up with Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris at her Aug. 4 Malibu baby shower, where the glowing mom-to-be eschewed flowers for "diaper cakes" as centerpieces.

Instead of flowers, I have centerpieces called ‘diaper cakes’ by Nine Months Later. You get to take them home and use the washcloths, diapers and toys that they are made of.

I’m beyond thrilled to be on the beach and to have a laid-back, casual, nontraditional baby shower. This is just a fun, big party to celebrate baby.

We don’t want to find out the sex of the baby. We are so looking forward to that big, fabulous surprise on delivery day.

I feel a little guilty saying that it’s been a really wonderful pregnancy…I’ve been sticking with my regular diet, which is a balance of proteins and carbs.

I’ve altered my workout, so I’ve dropped the amount of weight that I use for free weights. I’ve gone to yoga classes and taken a lot of walks with my husband.

I love both my jobs and I plan to continue them. We’ll find a way with Michael’s help and a great nanny.
