“We did it! Our little sweetheart is here! She arrived on her own terms, quickly and 4 weeks early, but she is perfect in every way, healthy and doing well,” Jade captioned the first photo of her holding her bundle of joy, on Thursday. “? Precious little girl, there are no words to describe the feeling of holding you in our arms for this first time and looking into your beautiful eyes. We love you so much. #bestdayever #ilovemyfamily”

Never thought I'd post such a vulnerable pic as this, but nothing has ever felt more right and more natural than taking care of my little girl. Becoming a mother hasn't felt like some huge, transformational moment for me (besides giving birth haha). Instead, it feels like she's always been here somehow, like she has always been a part of me— almost like I don't know how yesterday existed without her. It's amazing how you can love someone so much, I now get the privilege of understanding a mother's endless love. 💗

While the couple shared multiple pics of their bundle of joy following her delivery, even this intimate photo of mommy and baby nursing, Jade and Tanner waited until Sunday to announce their daughter’s name.

“It's official! Say hello to Emerson Avery Tolbert! 'Emmy' for short,” Jade captioned a photo of her newborn atop her very own personalized blanket. “?

Tanner also shared a pic of his newborn baby undergoing a fluorescent light treatment that helps her body get rid of excess bilirubin, which could cause jaundice. The dad didn’t seem too worried about the common newborn treatment as he jokingly captioned the photo, “I gotta wear shades cuz my future so bright.”

So my parents have been calling me "Emmy" for the past couple of days... I am not sure why, but I guess I'll go with it. My initials are "EAT" because that's one of my favorite things to do. - Emerson Avery Tolbert
