They posted the first batch of photos one day after the baby arrived, and Union shared a new image after that. The new mom also revealed that she hasn’t had time to do very basic things for herself, but she’s completely fine with it.

“So perhaps I haven’t showered or brushed my teeth or slept, but I’m in heaven,” wrote Union on her Instagram Stories. “I stink but I’m happy.” Cuddle Time. #WadeWomen.”

Wade broke his routine as well, and according to the Associated Press he won’t be returning to the Miami Heat for at least another week. The 6’4” point guard also revealed the baby arrived early, so he wants to bond with her and ensure she’s healthy.

“With my daughter coming a couple weeks early, she’s a little tiny right now, so we’re making sure health-wise that she’s OK,” Wade explained. ”And for me, once I leave and go back to the season, not really being able to be with me everywhere I go, this time right now, this bonding moment with my daughter is the most important thing in my life at this time.”

The couple hasn’t revealed the name of the newborn yet, and she comes after Union has been open about having several miscarriages.
