In the shot, Gretchen lays in the hospital bed, wearing her long, blonde locks down and curled while she cradles the baby in her arms.

Slade stands over his wife and gives her a kiss and the family of three looks as happy as can be. Little Skylar is all bundled up in a pink blanket and a cap with a bow as she closes her eyes and sleeps in her mother’s arms. The next photo in the deck is in color, showing an up-close view of the tiny tot who matches her mother in a pink patterned top.

As The Inquisitr shared last week, Rossi gave birth to her first child, and this is Slade’s third with sons Gavin and Grayson from a previous marriage. Prior to welcoming Skylar, Rossi told fans that she would need to undergo a cesarean section after a doctor’s appointment revealed that it would be the safest way to deliver the baby.

“When you have this vision of how you want your labor and delivery to go and it doesn’t turn out [the] way you imagined, there is this sadness and internal struggle with ‘why isn’t my body cooperating’ or am I making the right decision etc.”

Luckily, the mom and baby are doing well and everyone looks happy!
