“She’s everything we’ve been dreaming about and more ❤️” the caption said. “We are still at the hospital and on track to get discharged to go home tomorrow. Aurora is passing all tests with flying colors and mom is still recovering, but is soaking up every minute of this newborn magic. What a dream!! 😭💗”

Victoria admitted on her Instagram Story that after their extensive struggles with infertility, she was still nervous about the pregnancy.

“It still doesn’t seem real!” she said. “It hasn’t felt real, this entire time. The only time it felt real is when I’m doing ultrasounds. It’s been a little hard to really enjoy it because I’ve been just constantly been worried that it’s not going to continue, but I feel like announcing it is going to make it even more real. And I’m hoping to start to get to the excited phase, I think this is just a byproduct of infertility and struggling.”
