Philadelphia native and 6ABC reporter Maggie Kent is celebrating the birth of her daughter, who arrived Monday after the news anchor had dressed up as a magic eight ball for Halloween.

Kent and the station shared the news Tuesday, announcing that the baby girl was born Monday afternoon and weighed seven pounds, 12 ounces.

Kent shared a picture of her newborn girl with a bow on her head as she slept.

"Mom and dad are over the moon!" Kent said, via 6ABC.

Last month, she shared a video on Instagram showing her pregnancy journey and growing baby bump while on the job in Philly.
