One year ago today we made history when we confirmed that Bibi was pregnant with the first ultrasound photos of baby Fiona! Little did we know, she would be arriving in just 15 days (6 weeks premature)! Take a look back at this exciting announcement: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

WATCH: Fiona the hippo celebrates first birthday with special cake
Jan 20, 2018
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Fiona the hippo became an international darling in her first year of life, so it was only fitting that the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden throw her a birthday celebration fit for a star.
Hundreds gathered at the zoo Saturday to celebrate the West Nile Hippopotamus and partiers even had a special chance to see Fiona, who typically stays indoors during winter months.
Thanks to the warmer weather, Fiona and her mom, Bibi, made an appearance in Hippo Cove. Guests watched as Fiona enjoyed a two-tiered “cake” made of her favorite fruits and vegetables.
The baby hippo was born six weeks premature on Jan. 24, 2017.
Since then, the world has followed Fiona's every move - even when she passes gas. She's been called a "diva" and a "little hippo with a big personality."
In her first year alone, Fiona has starred in her own TV show, she became an honorary sheriff's deputy and helped a couple get engaged. She's inspired a t-shirt line, a beer, ice cream, cookies and a book and countless other endorsements.

Dear Fiona,
My name is Timothy. I recently moved out of my mom's house to San Antonio and currently live with my grandma, Uma who I love very much. My grandpa, Tumbo was a cover model for National Geographic magazine. Grandma says that's where I get my great looks.
Anyhoo, I have seen your pictures and videos on the internet at the[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and I think you are the most beautiful hippopotamus I have ever seen. Perhaps we can meet someday...
