They welcomed their little girl on Friday.

And Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum and husband J.P. Rosenbaum's baby Essex Reese has now made her social media debut.

The proud mother posted an Instagram snap of the tiny tot fast asleep, swaddled in a white and pink blanket with a head band decorated with a cream net flower around her dark tresses. 

She's ready for her close-up: Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum and husband J.P. Rosenbaum's baby Essex Reese made her social media debut on Saturday 

The 32 -year-old captioned the cute photo:  'Introducing Essex Reese Rosenbaum.'

Little Essex, whom her parents have already nicknamed Essie, is covered with a black blanket with her name embroidered on the front.

On Sunday, J.P.  posted a shot of himself standing behind Ashley holding their daughter in her lap while still at the hospital in Miami, Florida, where she was born.

The 39-year-old only half joked: 'Day 2 nearly over and hopefully headed home soon where my perpetual fear of future boyfriends begins.'

Proud papa: J.P was partly joking when he posted this snap on Sunday saying, 'Day 2 nearly over and hopefully headed home soon where my perpetual fear of future boyfriends begins'

Before her arrival: Ashley posted this snap of her baby bump in early October

Still, she'll have her big brother, two-year-old son Fordham Rhys, to look out for her as she grows up.

Essex was born via Caesarean section at  10.38am and weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 11oz, measuring 19ins long, the couple told People on Friday.

The couple shared a snap of themselves with the magazine, showing them still in hospital scrubs with their newborn swaddled up  and wearing a white headband with a pink bow.

'Both mommy and beautiful baby Essie are doing great!' J.P. gushed.  

Her choice: The couple met on the seventh season of The Bachelorette when the 32-year-old gave J.P the red rose in 2011

The former reality star married J.P. after giving him the final rose in the seventh season of ABC's The Bachelorette in 2011. 

They tied the knot in a televised ceremony in December 2012.

The Rosenbaums announced they were expecting a little girl in an Instagram they posted in May.

'I can’t hold it in any longer … My heart is bursting with love now that we’re #ClearblueConfirmed!' Ashley captioned the photo of a blackboard with the inscription 'Ashley + JP + Ford + Baby Girl = [Heart].'

No. 2 on the way: They announced they were expecting their second child, a baby girl, with this cute Instagram, posted in May

Proud parents: Ashley and J.P. already share Fordham Rhys, who turned two on September 30

She has shared a slew of snaps since then, including plenty of her growing baby bump and her little boy.

Just before announcing that she was expecting, Ashley told People that they were trying for baby number two.

'There’s talk, and there’s action of more babies. We’re talking … and we’re rockin’!' Ashley joked.

Romantic setting: Ashley looked radiant in a white lace gown on Fiji as she held the red rose that she would eventually give to J.P. in 2011
