On Wednesday, Serena Williams shared the first photo of her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

The baby, named after father Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, was born on Sept. 1. In a clip included in a video Ohanian posted to YouTube, Williams says there were “a lot of complications” and they were required to stay at the hospital for six to seven days.
