"Kristi was in labour for almost 36 hours," marvels Blair, who shot to fame on Big Brother before starring in Neighbours and Winners & Losers.
"By the end we were all pretty exhausted, even me!"
Late but undeniably cute, Leni finally arrived on March 26 – weighing 3.54kg and measuring 50cm – at Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California, near the pair’s home.
