It’s a girl for Britni Thornton and her husband, Matt Palmer, as the couple is celebrating the arrival of their first child together.
On Wednesday, Britni shared a carousel post of photos spotlighting their baby daughter, Annabella Faye Ellen Palmer.
In the first photo, an overjoyed Britni cradles Annabella close to her chest as Matt poses nearby for the smiling selfie.
A second photo appears to be inside the hospital room with Britni holding a sleeping Annabella against her chest as she lies in the hospital bed. Matt rests his head on the side of the bed to admire his wife and daughter.
Several more photos feature close-up shots of their adorable baby daughter, who has a large purple or pink bow on her head and comfy pajamas.

“& this one isn’t a fur baby!🎉 Baby Palmer coming June 2024🥹🥰,” she captioned the IG post.

She wore a dark bandana, tan skirt, and white halter crop top, revealing her bare baby bump.
“Motherhood is already so whimsical🧚🏼♀️✨ Can we talk about how beautiful these turned out?😍,” she wrote in her caption.
