"[@Scrounge":](/1118137#comment_4957867): An excerpt from The Journal of the Two Sisters:
_
***Celestia:** They knew that Alicorns stood for everything Equestria was founded upon: love, harmony, and friendship. And because Alicorns are a combination of Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies, they believed that we could represent the citizens of Equestria in an unbiased manner-all ponies being equal in our eyes. So they asked us to be their princesses._
*
This line heavily suggests that Equestria's founders found about the Alicorns, somehow. As well as also suggesting that Alicorns have existed since before Equestria's founding.
Also:
_
***Celestia:** Because Alicorns age at a different rate than the rest of the pony races, Luna and I don't have our Cutie Marks yet. Being a "Blank Flank" at our age never felt unusual. I've always known that I would get my Cutie Mark at the proper time._
*
This heavily implies that neither Celestia or Luna have never known a time where they were anything besides Alicorns. Which, logically, would mean they were born as Alicorns.
Ald lastly:
_
***Luna:** See, when we ran and flew in the hills of Canterlot, we'd pretend we were princesses, and talk in **The Royal We,** being all formal and stuff._
*
This line pretty much tells me that Celestia and Luna grew up in Canterlot before they became princesses. So, unless Canterlot wasn't considered as a part of Equestria when the two of them became princesses, I don't see how Flurry Heart is "the first Alicorn baby in Equestria".
And I brought up the figure of a millennium mainly because that seems to be the last anyone in-universe hears of any Alicorn besides Celestia and Luna at least before Cadence goes through her ascension.
