Evidently, actually having a baby in Indianapolis, Indiana was a major departure from shaking her groove thang for a geriatric legend in Los Angeles, California.

In addition to Kendra Wilkinson having a baby, the Wilkinson-Basketts suffered another setback since Hank Baskett Jr. was born: Super Bowl XLIV. Hank Baskett's professional football club, the Indianapolis Colts took it on the chin from the New Orleans Saints.

Hank Baskett was the Colt who botched the play and lost the halftime mojo that the Colts owned. Read: Kim And Reggie: Fighting After The Super Bowl
