Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou are proud parents of a new baby boy.

We know this because the fashion designer actually fired off a few messages on her Twitter account during child birth.

"It's time!! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!!," she wrote, topping that Tweet a short while later with: "Having contractions now! Ooo- wee! It's like WHOA! Love & Light, KLS."

It's not just like "WHOA!" It's also like: isn't there a problem in society when, in the middle of life's most miraculous, memorable event, one takes the time to share it with complete strangers? Isn't there something to be said for privacy at times like this?

Thank goodness Kimora Lee Simmons took this photo of herself while in labor. Otherwise, complete strangers might have had no idea what she looks like in a hospital gown.
