With the birth of Melissa Rycroft’s daughter, Ava Grace, the last piece of the Bachelor alum’s “happily ever after” fairy tale fell into place. “People always say you’ll never know true love until you have a child. It’s a hard thing to understand, but it is on a totally different level,” says Melissa, who (along with hubby Tye Strickland) welcomed baby Ava on Feb. 16. Only OK! has the exclusive first pics of sweet little Ava in this week's issue — on sale everywhere Thursday!
