Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise Have a Baby Girl!

Here at thebosh.com we expected Katie to give birth closer to the opening day of Tom's new movie Mission Impossible...so chances are no more details will come until days before the movie opens....

UPDATE .

The couple “joyously welcomed the arrival of a baby girl, Suri, today,�? the actor’s rep said in a statement after PEOPLE first broke the news. “The child weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches in length. Both mother and daughter are doing well.�?

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew meaning “princess,�? or in Persian meaning “red rose,�? the rep added.

According to earlier reports, Katie Holmes was expected to give birth amid
huge white signs reminding her to stay silent.
The actress had allegedly agreed to deliver her baby in total silence in
accordance with a Scientology tradition.
Katie and Tom - a long-standing devotee of the sci-fi cult - have had
posters spelling out Katie's labour rules delivered to their home recently.

To help Katie, Cruise reportedly gave her an MP3 player
loaded with mellow music to help her stay silent during childbirth. The hi-tech iPod has over 300 handpicked tracks to help Katie keep mum.

Now that the baby is here, Katie Holmes has been reportedly banned from speaking to her baby for a week. The actress reportedly agreed not to talk to her new arrival, believed to
be a girl, for at least seven days after she has entered the world, in
accordance with fiancé Tom Cruise's Scientology beliefs.

Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 27, had made no secret of their desire to start a family together: When asked by PEOPLE last June if they were planning to have children, Holmes smiled and said simply, "Yes."

Friends of the Toledo, Ohio-bred Holmes called her perfectly suited to her upcoming role. "She almost seems born for motherhood," said Oliver Hudson, actress Kate Hudson's brother and an old pal who costarred with Holmes in Dawson's Creek. "She's a nurturer. She's got mother qualities a lot of girls her age don't have."
