It's a girl for Haley Palve and her husband Oula!

On Monday, the former "Bachelor" star and wife of ex-Pittsburgh Penguins player Oula Palve, shared the arrival of their daughter, Lovi Lavigne Palve, in a touching Instagram post.

She shared a carousel of her newborn swaddled in her bassinet, surrounded by custom name blocks and a sign sharing her date of birth and weight. "You're the love we've always known was coming. Been soaking up every second of the newborn bubble bliss," the new mom penned in the caption.

"Baby and I got home from the hospital yesterday and we are doing great! She is pure joy and we couldn't be more in love. Welcome to the world sunshine girl!" Palve added.

Fans shared their excitement and congratulated the new parents on their newest addition in the comments.

"Gorgeous baby girl! Congratulations mama and papa," fellow former "Bachelor" contestant Vanessa Grimaldi shared.

"What a journey. So happy for you both. You have a beautiful family. Congratulations!" a fan wrote.

"OMG! She is so perfect! That hair is amazing! I hope all is well with you mama, and welcome to motherhood. Also, love the name Lovi!" another commented.

"Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful. Wishing you guys all the best in the new role of parenthood. It's a wild ride. Lean on your village and don't be afraid to ask for help," one Instagram user chimed in.

Back in November, the 31-year-old opened up to her Instagram followers about the challenging IVF process she endured to finally conceive her daughter, and the anxiety and anticipation that came with it.

"When we transferred our first little embryo I was anxious but full of hope," she recalled.

"Every little thing I felt worried me, and the first 10 weeks were mixed with a lot of different emotions."

As the weeks progressed, Palve found herself gradually transitioning from anxiety to a growing sense of joy and anticipation. She shared her thoughts, saying, "I'm not sure it has totally hit me yet that I get to have my baby that I've dreamt of for so long, and maybe I won't believe it until I get to hold that dream in my arms in 25 weeks."

Two weeks after announcing her pregnancy, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Monica Garcia revealed she suffered a miscarriage.

\n

"One thing I promised myself when opening my life up to all of you was that I was going to do it completely unapologetically and authentically raw as possible," Garcia, 39, began in a lengthy post via Instagram on Sunday, April 28. "I would show you my life in all aspects because that is what I agreed to do. Unfortunately, today I need to share a very heartbreaking aspect."

\n

She continued, "'There is no heartbeat.' I don't have many words and I'm still processing all of this myself. As quickly as this happened, that's how quickly things have changed."

\n

Garcia noted that she's "sending so much love" to those who are undergoing "miscarriages, fertility issues, pregnancy problems, if you have an angel baby, and everything in-between."

"I am so grateful for my incredible doctors and amazing support system," she concluded. "I am so blessed to have all of you in my corner and I appreciate how beautiful you all have been to me about this baby. I love you and I'm so thankful for you.🤍🤍🤍."

\n

Alongside the message, Garcia shared black-and-white snaps of her and another person's hands, as well as a pic of her in the hospital.

Garcia revealed the news of her pregnancy during an episode of "The Viall Files" podcast earlier this month when she was asked what's on the horizon following her one-season run on RHOSLC.

\n

While Garcia seemed initially hesitant to share the news, she announced she was seven weeks pregnant. "I literally just found out," she said. "I have not told one f—king person except for my best friend."

\n

Garcia noted that she went to urgent care for "something totally unrelated" and a doctor told her she was pregnant. When Garcia was asked who the father of her child was, she played coy before revealing his name is Braxton.

\n

"I have not even — I've been dating him for a year and no one even knows who he is," she said.

\n

Garcia noted that she and her beau were not trying for a baby, saying, "I should not be [pregnant]. I literally, I was on the urgent care floor bawling my eyes out. 'Cause I'm like, 'I'm 39, there's no way.' I'm on birth control. Like, by all means, I should not be pregnant. … It's so scary, but it's so crazy."

\n

Garcia is a mother of four kids, Bri, 18, Jaidyn, 13, West, 7, and Kendall, 6, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Fowler.
