I didn’t realize Lauren Conrad was due so soon! Just last month, LC covered Fit Pregnancy Magazine and she didn’t seem to be in the last weeks of her pregnancy at all. She also seemed very calm in general – she wasn’t even worried about her birthing plan or the pain of labor or anything. Well, Lauren and her husband William Tell welcomed their first child on Wednesday. It’s a boy! They named the kid… Liam James. Liam James Tell. Liam Tell or LJ Tell? You guys always yell at me for trying to figure out a kid’s nickname, but it’s one of my favorite things to do. I suspect the kid will just go by Liam, although there’s always a possibility that he’ll go for one-syllable, like Lee Tell. Which makes him sound like a cowboy.

In any case, we don’t know much about the birth but I’m sure everything went smoothly because… it’s Lauren Conrad we’re talking about. A difficult birth would be off-brand! She and her husband released this statement to People:

“We are thrilled to share that we welcomed our son Liam James Tell into our family,” the couple tell PEOPLE exclusively of their bundle of joy, who was born Wednesday, July 5, in the afternoon. “Mom, Dad and baby are doing well. We’re already in love!”

Add Conrad, 31, and Tell of their dogs’ reaction, “Chloe and Fitz aren’t so sure …”

Born weighing 6 lbs., 14 oz., Liam is the first child for Conrad and Tell, 37, who tied the knot in a September 2014 sunset ceremony at a boutique winery in Santa Ynez, California.

One tip I’ve heard – from Serena Williams’ fiance, of all people – is that you should bring a baby blanket home from the hospital and “introduce” the baby’s scent to your dogs that way. Although it sounds like LC didn’t even spend the night in the hospital, so it was probably easier to just introduce the actual baby to the dogs. And the dogs were not happy. But they’ll get with the program.
