People wished the mama and baby well after Aspyn shared the news of the birth.

Aspyn shared on social media that her baby arrived early, at about 34 weeks.
“So I just had a baby. [I] feel like i’m in shock because she’s super early. My brain is just not processing what’s happening,” Aspyn told her followers from the hospital bed.
The YouTube star explained that her baby arrived “super early” and will need to be under doctors’ observation for a while.
“She’s in the NICU right now, she’s doing really well, but she’s super early so she’s going to be there for a minute,” she added.
Aspyn did not reveal the name of the newborn she shares with Parker.
The pair are also parents to siblings Cove, 4, and Lola, 2, whom they welcomed after tying the knot in their hometown of St. George, Utah, in October 2015.
“I have a wife! She has a husband!” Parker, who was 20 years old at the time, said soon after they exchanged wedding vows.
“I’m sure it will hit me a little later once we actually get situated, living together, normal married life," he added.
The news of the divorce comes just weeks after the pair went on a babymoon to Mexico
In the lead-up to their wedding, the couple shared a vlog online that saw Parker admitting that he never thought he would be married by the age of 20.
“Never, ever would have expected that I’d be married at 20, but you know, things happen, life happens and you meet people, and you meet your wife,” he told thousands of subscribers in the 2015 vlog.
“And I just know that she’s the one so, why not get married?” he added.
Aspyn, who was 19 when she became a wife, told People that she was excited about the “brand new, really fun adventure of marriage.”
The news of their divorce comes just weeks after the pair traveled to Mexico last month for a babymoon before the birth of their third child.
Aspyn and Parker put up a united front at the hospital during the newborn’s birth and have not publicly addressed their divorce yet.
In a video shared on April 3, Aspyn spoke a little about giving birth for the third time and how it was "pretty quick" because the baby girl came earlier than her first two children.
"I remember after my first baby, I literally felt like I got hit on a bus, so I'm waiting for that feeling to hit me. I had an epidural with like all three babies, kind of similar labor," she said in a TikTok video.
"It was pretty quick because [the] baby did come quite a bit earlier than my other two babies, so she's a little bit smaller, but honestly, it still hurt to get her out," the YouTuber continued. "I was a little bit shocked."
Aspyn said in a recent TikTok video that Parker has been with their newborn baby "the entire time"
Aspyn noted that she was recording the clip just about three hours after giving birth.
"So far, I'm feeling so good. I'm definitely in shock because everything just happened so quick," Aspyn said.
The YouTuber noted that Parker was in the NICU with their newborn baby.
"Parker's been with her the entire time," she added.
