It's a Big Brother baby!

Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson, who tied the knot after meeting on the CBS reality series, welcomed their first child together, a girl named Maverick Nickson, on Sunday, March 17.

Little Maverick weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz., proud dad Nickson revealed on his wife's Now What?!this link opens in a new tab podcast Wednesday, while the couple later shared their baby girl's first photos on Instagram.

But Maverick's arrival was not without some drama as Graf, 28, was forced to undergo an emergency cesarean section after suffering extremely high blood pressure.

Nickson, 33, explained that Graf was not feeling well, prompting the couple to check her blood pressure with a kit they had at home.

When hers read so high it "it didn't seem possible," they tried again at a local supermarket — only to find the same result.

"It was 185 over 113 … Once it starts getting that high or even higher, there's the possibility of stroke, seizure, whatever," Nickson explained. "It's really bad."

Graf was rushed to the emergency room, and doctors informed Nickson that their bundle of joy would be coming via emergency C-section in just 15 minutes.

"We had our baby, we had our baby girl. Fortunately, the surgery went great," he said. "Jessica is currently recovering. By all means, everything went good with her. Her recovery is doing pretty well."

He continued, "We couldn't be happier and thank you for all the thoughts and prayers out there. We have received so much support … We already can't wait until the next one comes. Jessica said she can wait."
