    PICS: Meet Blue Ivy Carter!

    There she is!

    In one of the most anticipated baby reveals of all time, Beyonce and Jay-Z shared the first-ever photos of their daughter Blue Ivy Carter on Friday.

    PHOTOS: Beyonce's unforgettable pregnancy

    On a brand-new tumblr site dedicated to their baby girl "helloblueivycarter," a handwritten note reads, "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family."

    Born in NYC Jan. 7 and weighing in at 7 lbs., Blue Carter gets her debut in five adorable photos; in one open-eyed closeup, the music super couple's first child looks every bit the spitting image of her mom, 30.

    In another pic, Beyonce beams as she holds her little one close; in another shot, proud papa Jay-Z, 42 (real name: Shawn Carter) also smiles from ear to ear with Blue resting on his chest. (The rapper famously penned and recorded the song "Glory" soon after his daughter's birth.)  An additional photo reveals Blue's tiny hand reaching out to her mom's.

    On Thursday, the couple made the bold move of applying for a trademark to their little girl's name -- to potentially be used for a line of baby products and more.

      why is mainstream America so caught up in celebrity lives and lifestyles? who really cares about Blue Ivy Carter?????? with so many more important things going on in this country and around the world, I should really care about this baby, her mama, and her daddy?? *-* smh...

        Every birth of a child is awesome. And when you have a couple that is together, married, sharing in that joy, it's another bonus point. Understand that things are crazy around the world. It's these simple, wonderful moments of life that keep up positive, that remind us what is really important. Don't hate---celebrate! :)

      First of all who names their baby blue? For as ugly as that baby is they should have named it like shanequia or some jive name. Second how can this couple really think people care about their lives or baby? They hold pics of her like its a national security classified document that only a select few can see. This couple has their heads in the clouds. Her father has stabbed someone in a nightclub and her mother gets on stage and wears #$%$ clouthing and shakes her #$%$ Sounds like an episode of the kardashians

      @Happypat35: What is that supposed to mean? Looks have nothing to do with "hype" and "beefed up security". You must not be a parent. Every woman's child deserves to be fussed over. Children are precious and giving birth is an unforgettable experience.The only real difference is that these parents are loaded and can afford to spare no expense in ensuring their own safety and quality care. They birthed at a private hospital that broke no legal rules in accomodating their requests though I do think a concession could've been made concerning the parent that complained about not being able to visit his child in NICU. If it was true, then that could've been handled differently- most obviously by keeping Baby Carter in the room with Mom, which is done all the time. There didn't seem to be any other complaints from anyone else so I suspect it may have been embellished.

      As a mom of four each of the 3 times I gave birth (twins the last time), I made sure to go natural because I wanted to be lucid the entire time. I checked on my babies every 5 minutes if they were not with me and made sure that my concerns were addressed and understood, in writing ahead of time - without being "Momzilla." I am by no means wealthy, but have noticed that people respect manners and clarity. Bottom line: never mess with a mother and her child, especially her firstborn.The anesthesiologist in the room when I was birthing my oldest found that one out.

      Best Wishes to the Carter family. Cherish every moment. The time flies. She is absolutely enchanting.

      To all the negative comments - I noticed that most are from people without profile pictures that probably shouldn't be talking. If you have nothing nice to say about someone's infant child, then keep your foolishness to yourself. Think that 10-12 years from now she may be able to read all your nonsense on the internet (or whatever) herself. Grow up, already.

      the only time babies have hair like that if they are mixed. my son is half hispanic half black and he looks completely hispanic you would think i wasnt his mother til you see how much he looks like me. But we'll see how this baby turns out when she gets older, other than that she's adorable precious
