The 28-year-old reality TV star, who gave birth to the child with fiance Alex Reid on June 17, said she was thrilled to meet the tot, reported Femalefirst.
"I'm so happy and excited my baby is finally here! She's so beautiful! In the days leading up to the birth, I had been waking up at 5.30am worrying about it - I was so frightened.
"I had a hospital appointment last Tuesday and they told me that her head was engaged. At that point, the doctor actually decided against giving me an internal examination because she didn't want me to freak out if she had to tell me that my cervix was opening," she said.
Houghton also said that she wanted to look her best when she gave birth as she knew she would have visitors.
"I bought a couple of tops and some make-up because I want to look nice for when people come to see the baby."
