She was a surprise Christmas present, arriving two weeks earlier than planned.
Parents Charlotte Ashe and Simon Leedham, from Hethersett, spent Christmas morning at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, welcoming the newest addition to their family.
Their daughter - the couple's first together but the fifth youngster to join the family - was the first baby born at the hospital on Christmas Day, arriving just after 1.50am.
And she marked the start of a very busy morning - the Norwich hospital said that, by 12pm, its midwives had already welcomed eight newborns.

She had been taken into hospital last week, but the couple had expected to be back at home with their family for Christmas Day.
'We kept saying we didn't think she'd arrive on Christmas,' she said, 'and as the day went on we thought she'd arrive on Christmas Eve, but it got to about 11.50pm and things started to happen.
'We're really tired but really, really excited.'
Depending on Ms Ashe's recovery, the pair hope to be out of the hospital and back at home at some point on Boxing Day.
