Karolína Kurkováfinally got her daughter.
“It’s definitely a different energy,” the mom, 37, tells PEOPLE, sharing the first photos of 8-week-old LunaGrace’s face. “For me it’s very beautiful and special because she’s like me. … We’re alike. There is that common ground that we have, not something that you can even describe.”
She may be a seasoned #BoyMom at this point, but that doesn’t mean she plans to rethink her entire parenting approach with a daughter: The “same values” will carry over, Kurková explains.

“I can see the dynamic,” she adds with a laugh. “She’s very sweet, very calm, but yet very strong. When she needs or wants something, she definitely lets us know. She’s not scared, and she’ll definitely know how to work all the boys around her!”
Kurková welcomed LunaGrace (whose name is a conglomerate of two names Tobin and Noah picked out) during a home water birth in late April. It was her third time laboring and delivering this way, and everything was “smooth and beautiful” for her.
“It’s my home and I’m relaxed. I’m not stressed. In labor, that’s really what you need; you need to feel good and to be as relaxed as possible,” she explains of why she prefers the birth plan.
“To be able to have my husband there with me in the water, in the pool, and be that support for me. For him to be so involved and so hands on, he’ll tell you it’s the most incredible, most beautiful, most important thing he’s ever done. If you ask him about his accomplishments, he would say, ‘Giving birth to my children.’ "
“He’s not giving birth, but he’s very there. He’s in the water with me,” she adds, then recalling the “special” moment her sons then came in the room to immediately meet their new sister.
Kurková, of course, notes that every pregnant person should seek the most comfortable option to make their birthing process as seamless as it can be.
“It just all made sense to me, and that’s what we decided to do. I know it’s not for everybody. I always say you have to do what makesyoufeel good and what’s right foryou,” she says. “Have that power. … You are the mother who is birthing. It is a very beautiful, intense, incredibly special moment for you, and you want it to go well and right, and you want to enjoy it too.”
