She's already been given the nickname "Chopper" because of the unique way she entered the world.
Kora Lord was born 11 weeks early in a helicopter while her parents were on their "babymoon".
Christchurch couple Krysta and Marcus Lord were in the tiny settlement of Te Anau, Southland, where her parents live, for Christmas and to enjoy a break before their first child was due on March 10.
