It's a girl for Ledger and Williams

Hollywood parents-to-be Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are delighted after discovering their first baby will be a girl.

The Dawson's Creek actress, who met Ledger while filming forthcoming cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain, is expected to give birth in the next few weeks.

While promoting the Ang Lee-directed movie at last month's Toronto Film Festival, the pregnant star revealed their impending bundle of joy was also conceived during filming.

She said: "It's strange to watch the film now because it means so much more to me.

"I met my husband there, the seed of my daughter was born there - it's just really, really powerful."

Williams still insists she is in no hurry to walk down the aisle, despite already calling Heath her husband.

She adds: "I had a few fantasies about a husband and a wedding when I was a little girl. But I'm really happy with things just the way they are right now."
