Professional surfer and shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton has given birth to her fourth child, and her first girl \u2014 Alaya Dorothy.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Hamilton announced she was expecting her fourth baby on Instagram with a touching caption<\/a> that pointed out the value of every life. “Adam and I, and our whole fam, are so excited to be growing our family! I believe that life is a gift, and each and every life has value,” she wrote, adding, “Every single human life is fearfully and wonderfully made, and I believe should be viewed that way! How beautiful to know you were intentionally made by God. It can bring so much meaning to your life: that you are loved. That you are wonderful. That you have purpose. That you are no accident.”<\/p>\n

She later added a picture of her cradling her baby bump, and wrote<\/a>, “The blessing of being able to bear, and sustain a new life is never lost on me.”<\/p>\n

Hamilton has shared many photos and videos throughout her pregnancy, including rollerblading<\/a> three weeks before she gave birth while pushing one of her children in a stroller. In another sweet video, she zoomed in on her stomach to show her baby moving, with the caption, “There is absolutely no comparison to growing a precious human life. Grateful to be a mother.”<\/p>\n
