Gretchen Rossi is elevating maternity fashion and beauty, one gorgeous pic at a time. The new mom has been sharing touching shots on Instagram taken just moments after she and Slade Smiley welcomed their baby girl, Skylar Gray, and each one is more stunning than the last. In her most recent Instagram pic, the blonde beauty is holding her new bundle of joy for the first time after her C-section surgery and not only do mom and daughter look like they are on cloud nine, but also Gretchen’s glamorous hair is seriously impressive. 

How to Watch

Maintaining a certain level of flawlessness comes naturally to The Real Housewives of Orange County alum. Gretchen’s fun and flirty maternity style was full of teeny bikinis, figure-hugging dresses, and glitzy gowns fit for a goddess. At nine months pregnant, our Gretchen staged a maternity photo shoot...in a milk bath...while wearing lingerie and covered in rose petals. So, yeah, Gretchen knows a thing or two about glam. But in this sweet pic, it looks like Gretchen’s pre-labor hair and makeup session really paid off because her blonde locks are perfectly coiffed. Her long waves are cascading just so against her pillow and even though the picture is in black and white, we can tell that her makeup is on point as well.

This was right out of surgery and the very first time I got to hold my baby girl 👼🏻 This was the most amazing exhilarating feeling, and a moment that will be forever engrained in my mind. ❤️ @skylargray777 #firstmoments #babygirl #csection #baby #blessed ————————————————————————Thank you to my amazing Doctor, Dr. Flora, and the whole wonderful and caring staff at #HoagHospital for taking such amazing care of us while we were there. Your love and dedication to your jobs did not go unnoticed! Thank you to all the nurses, pediatricians, doctors and lactation consultants for really helping me with my first days of being a new mom and keeping me encouraged. ————————————————————————-Those 4 days and 3 nights were some of the toughest days I have ever navigated, being that you are trying to recover from a major abdominal surgery, (not to mention I have never had a major surgery in my life) deal with all the swelling and hormonal changes going on with my body, all the while trying to learn how to breastfeed, and meet your babies needs, but also trying to keep your head above water and take care of yourself so you can be the best mommy to your baby. I cried a lot, I was nervous, scared, in pain and not sure I was doing it all correctly. But I had an amazing support system between the hospital staff, my parents, my brother, and my dearest of friends all surrounding me and telling me, I got this, and was doing a good job! Felt so beyond blessed to have everyone there! So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🙏🏻
