KINGSPORT, Tenn. -

The Terry family got the most special Christmas present yesterday: their first child.

Caroline Jade Terry was born at 2:47 on Christmas morning, weighing 7 pounds and 9 ounces.

We learned Caroline was placed into the NIC unit after a stressful birth, but we found out she is doing great.

New mom Holly Terry told News 5 they are already noticing Caroline will have a big personality and her new baby girl is ready to be out of the unit. "She's showing signs that she's going to be feisty. I think she is ready to go home. She's pulled out her OG tube and 2 IVs so far," said Terry.

Terry told News 5 that holiday birthdays run in the family, saying her husband was born on Thanksgiving.
