For Beyonce and Jay-Z fans, it's been all about the musical power couple's baby daughter Blue Ivy lately. The bundle of joy has been making headlines since the moment she came into the world on January 7. First the media couldn't get enough of the fact that her parents paid to combine multiple hospital rooms into one luxurious private birthing suite (and that new parents were voicing complaints over being bothered by the couple's security team inside the maternity ward). Then came baby's first photos -- released on a blog set up by Mr. and Mrs. Carter -- featuring the adorable newborn (with a pretty full head of hair) in the arms of mom and dad. And, now, finally, the moment we've been waiting for -- little Miss Blue makes her first public appearance at 7 weeks old.
