Sundance baby -- literally

The first Sundance baby of the year arrived early Monday morning, and it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Kim Roberts, the central figure in "Trouble the Water," the powerful competition documentary about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, arrived in Park City, Utah, nine months and two weeks pregnant. The film had its Sundance premiere before an enthusiastic audience at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, and about 12 hours later, Roberts, who is here with her husband and a nurse, felt it was time to go to the hospital. A midnight ride down the mountain to Salt Lake City with co-directors Tia Lessen and Carl Deal ensued, and baby girl Skyy Kalien Roberts weighed in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce, about six hours later. There are a million stories coming out of Sundance, but this one is one of a kind.
