Australian content creator Dominique Elissa and her husband Tom Bull welcomed their first child together on October 9.
The happy couple shared the news on Thursday when they uploaded a gallery of intimate photos from the birth of their baby girl.
In the caption, the fitness influencer, 31, revealed her newborn's sweet name and how it honours her late mother, who died from cancer last year.
'The best day of our entire lives, Gia Odile Bull came earthside 09.10.2026 at 3.255kg. The most wild experience of our lives but I wouldn't change a thing,' she wrote.
'Our little girl surprised us hard and fast, ready to meet us in full swing. We've been soaking up our little love bubble and savouring each moment together as a family.'
Hours later, the new parents shared a video following the water birth as they shed happy tears while meeting their bundle of joy.

'The best surprise ever. Our hearts exploded with love the moment we saw we had a little girl,' Dominique captioned the clip.
'Gia's middle name is after my beautiful mum, carrying on her legacy even without her here.'
Dominique's mother, Odile Faludi, died last year after she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
The Aussie model and her husband Tom held their first wedding in the Prince of Wales Hospital just two weeks after getting engaged in March 2025.
She was forced to move her wedding ceremony to the hospital after her mother's health began to decline.
Dominique revealed on Instagram at the time that she was initially 'upset, angry and a mess' when she received the heartbreaking news, but decided she would stop at nothing to have her mother walk her down the aisle.

Sharing images and video of the bittersweet ceremony with her followers, Dominique and Tom made the best of their union as they celebrated with their families, who met for the first time on the big day.
Dominique detailed how heartbroken she first was when she learned she had to have her wedding ceremony at the hospital.
'When we were told the day before that we had to move our ceremony to the hospital, every part of me didn't want to do the reception anymore,' she said.
'I was upset, angry and a mess. I took time away to think [about] the decision and realised it was more important than ever that our families could have time to unite and get to know each other.
'I'm so happy we did, and the sun came out to create some magic moments for us.'
Dominique became engaged in March 2025 when Tom popped the question on the Hawkesbury River near Sydney.
They later went on to hold a second wedding celebration this year, exchanging vows in Sicily at a 14th-century castle overlooking the ocean.
Dominique donned a voluminous custom-made gown, later changing into a Babette maxi dress from Grace Loves Lace for her reception.
'Getting our guests to join our first dance got the party started like nothing else could have!!' Dominique wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of the reception gown.
