Itβs a girl!
NBCβs Savannah Guthrie and husband Mike Feldman welcomed daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman early Wednesday, the βTodayβ show revealed.
Vale tipped the scales at 8 pounds, 5 ounces, the βTodayβ team said on Thursdayβs broadcast. She measured 19.5 inches long.
"I think we found heaven in this little hospital room in New York City," Guthrie said.
She described Vale, her first child, as having "blue eyes, a little bit of blondish hair and the chubbiest cheeks you've ever seen," Today.com also reported.
The "Today" co-anchor had hinted on Twitter that her little one had arrived about a half hour before the official reveal.

Guthrie went on maternity leave earlier this week and had chronicled her pregnancy for Today.com.
Guthrie announced in March that she had wed Feldman and the pair were expecting their first baby in the summer.
The couple broke the pregnancy news to their wedding guests, which included "Today's" Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb and Willie Geist, as well as Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi.
βOur hearts (and twitter feeds) are overflowing with joy,β Feldman tweeted at the time.
Feldman is a founding partner and managing director of communications firm The Glover Park Group, and was a former senior adviser and traveling chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore. He proposed to Guthrie in Turks and Caicos back in May, according to E! News.
