By Daily Mail Reporter Olympic star hockey player TJ Oshie and his fiancee Lauren Cosgrove became first time parents after Cosgrove gave birth to baby girl Lyla Grace on Monday. St Louis Blues player Oshie was one of the stars of the Sochi Olympics, helping nab the men's hockey team a decent fourth-place in the tournament. But Cosgrove had to cheer on her 'heartthrob' fiancee from back home in Missouri, since she was too pregnant to fly to Russia. Thankfully, the excitement of the Olympic hockey tournament didn't send Cosgrove into a premature labor and she gave birth as scheduled at 9:57am on St Patrick's Day with Oshie by her side.
