Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus and Wayne Deuce have shared the name of their newborn daughter.
The couple introduced their baby girl’s name, Codi Dreaux, in a new Instagram post that featured a cartoon drawing of the two parents with their daughter in the NICU.
The name “Codi” appears on Wayne’s shirt and Cori’s necklace in the illustrated portrait.
“Codi Dreaux. mommy and daddy loves you!!! #nicu #nicumama #nicudad,” the caption read.
Cori gave birth to Codi at 25 weeks. She shared the news on February 28, posting a close-up photo of her baby’s foot and writing, “The princess arrived at 6 months. Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!”
In the caption, the first-time mom reflected on the emotions that came with an early delivery.
“I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself that I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed,” she wrote. “But no matter what God always shows me that I’m His Child!”
Last month, Cori and Wayne appeared on the JST Us podcast and opened up about their experience as new parents with a baby in the NICU.
Cori, who has been open about managing lupus, knew her pregnancy would be considered high risk from the beginning.
“Just having lupus and being pregnant is automatically high risk,” she said. “So every doctor’s appointment it was like this could happen this could happen that could happen. To it was like till one point I was like I don’t even want to go to the doctors anymore because it’s like sucking the joy out of [the] whole experience.”
Still, Cori shared that much of her pregnancy went smoother than expected.
“I really had a smooth sail in pregnancy even labor and delivery and I just posted that today like God is really… I always say I’m his favorite.”
She also opened up about how difficult it has been to be apart from her daughter while she’s in the NICU.
“Just seeing her like that breaks my heart and I think I really felt like I failed her… like me being your mommy I couldn’t even give you what you needed.”
Despite the emotional highs and lows, Cori has found strength and gratitude in the experience.
“It could be worse. People go full term and lose their babies… our baby has her five fingers five toes… she’s healthy… she’s breathing.”
