Stacey Solomon has finally revealed the name of her and Joe Swash's newborn daughter.
OK, OK, it's only been a few days since she was born, but fans have been dying to know.
The Loose Women star took to Instagram to share the baby's name after welcoming her into the world last week, following what felt to fans like a whirlwind pregnancy.

Stacey announced her pregnancy on 28 December with a video of her sharing the news with Joe, with who she already shares two other children.
Just a few days later though, the mum revealed she and Joe had actually been sitting on the news for some time and that the newborn was coming 'much sooner' than expected.
Fast forward to Saturday (11 February), when Stacey shared a picture of her bump to her Instagram story and revealed that a 'crazy quick whirlwind' took place just after she snapped the picture.
The mum then shared a series of pictures of the family's newest arrival.
"She’s Here," Stacey wrote, before revealing the little girl was born at home with 'all of [her] brothers and sister ready to snuggle [her] forever'.
"You literally flew into our world… And none of us can quite believe your thick dark head of hair that we just can’t get over," she continued.
"We can’t believe your [sic] here. Welcome to the world beautiful girl, thank you for the last few months in my tummy, we can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family."
The star has since announced her little one is called Belle, writing on Instagram: "Our little Belle. Our beautiful, delicate baby girl. Who will forever remind us of the bluebells that are about to bloom as you bring the spring with you into the world… And a little special connection to your Rose. To the moon and back Belle. Forever and always."
Stacey shared another update later the night she made her birth announcement, admitting she 'forgot how hard breastfeeding is at the beginning' but saying she was excited to 'establish it' and thanking her fans and loved ones for all the kind words and congratulations following the birth announcement.
"Your messages, comments, stories and everything are just so. so. so amazing. Thank you. I'm so grateful for my family on here and I just love you," she wrote.
Stacey teased the announcement of the baby's name on her Instagram story before sharing it with the world, admitting the family 'really wanted to meet her and get to know her' before deciding on a name, but revealing that they 'think [they] know who she is now'.
Belle is Stacey's fifth child after she previously welcomed children Leighton Barham and Zachary Solomon from previous relationships.
