Ali Landry is a mommy again—and she took us along for the ride!

After tweeting a heads-up that she was in labor, the model-actress welcomed a baby boy today, her third child with husband Alejandro Monteverde, E! News confirms.

Valentine Franceso joins sister Estela, 6, and brother Marcelo, 21 months. 

The newest addition to the family weighed in at 9 pounds.

"We are so happy to welcome Valentine into our lives and our family," Landry told Life & Style, which first broke the story.

It's unclear exactly what time the little guy arrived, but his yet-to-deliver mom posted to WhoSay, "Still waiting," about seven hours ago, along with a photo of her in her hospital bed, a fetal monitor attached to her bare baby bump.

 

Landry followed that with a pic of Monteverde wielding a camera.

"My husband is such a director. Look at him trying to get the perfect shoot if our view. At least he is making me laugh through contractions," she wrote.

Landry, whose pregnant belly made for the perfect prop when she shot an ad campaign for the stretch-mark-defying Palmer's Cocoa Butter last month, first revealed in March that her third child was on the way while guest-hosting E! News.

"My daughter, Estela, just thinks it's going to be double the trouble because her brother gives her a hard time," she later told us during her commercial shoot. 

Landry and Monteverde, who directed his wife in Bella, tied the knot in 2006.
