Carli Lloyd, husband welcome first child: 'Can't get enough of this little peanut'

PHILADELPHIA - United States soccer legend and local hero Cali Lloyd and her husband welcomed their first child on Friday. 

The couple announced the arrival of Harper Ann Hollins, who weighed 5 pounds, 14 ounces at birth. 

"We just can't get enough of this little peanut," the first-time mom wrote on Instagram. "We love, love you so much…"

The 42-year-old soccer star chronicled her "secret journey involving unexplained infertility and multiple rounds of IVF treatments" in a Women's Health article this year.

She announced the pregnancy on Instagram in May, calling it a "roller-coaster journey to get her."

"So very grateful for this amazing blessing in our lives," she wrote Friday. "By far the hardest thing I have ever endured but the best thing I've ever done."
