The has been a lot of talk about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s baby ever since Beyoncé announced that she was pregnant last year. There were claims that it was a fake pregnancy and that Beyoncé was wearing a collapsible bump and there were rumours that Beyoncé had given birth way before she actually did.

Finally, last month Beyoncé did give birth to a healthy baby girl, who they named Blue Ivy Carter, and since then she received advice from Hollywood actress Jessica Alba, who recommended that Beyoncé and Jay-Z release the pictures of Blue Ivy before the press do. Well it seems that Beyoncé and Jay-Z have taken that advice on board, as they have released the first pictures of baby Blue Ivy and she looks simply adorable.

A note, along with the pictures, read "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives," and it was signed “The Carter Family”. Beyoncé and Jay-Z were not tight on the pictures either, as they revealed one of Blue Ivy with her mother Beyoncé and a close up of Blue Ivy. The pictures are fantastic, check them out.
