There's a new Kardashian in the world. Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to daughter Penelope Scotland Disick early Sunday at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. This is the second child for Kourtney and boyfriend Scott Disick (the two have a 2-year-old son, Mason). E! reports that the 33-year-old had an all-natural birth. Penelope weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces. So will viewers get to watch Penelope's birth? "I don't know," Kourtney said on the Tonight Show a few weeks ago. "We're gonna film it again ourselves, and honestly, my experience last time was so peaceful and calm and everything you don't see in the movies. And I really wanted to share that with people so they knew it doesn't have to be a crazy screaming session."
