Giuliana and Bill Rancic couldn't be more overjoyed by the birth of their baby boy Edward Duke.

"It's true what they say (and what u all told us)… @BillRancic and I couldn't love little Duke anymore than we do. He's a dream....," G tweeted Friday morning, just two days after she and Bill welcomed their son.

So, how are mom, dad and baby feeling?

G & B welcome a baby boy!

Just fabulous, in fact, as the happy family returned to their home in Chicago today, just in time to celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary on Saturday.

The Duke took his first plane ride via a chartered private plane. Papa Rancic originally wanted to charter a bus because of Giuliana's fear of flying with the newborn babe, but their doctor nixed those plans, telling the couple a plane would be safer.

Giuliana and Bill welcomed son Edward Duke Rancic at 10:12 p.m. Wednesday night in Denver. Their little boy, born via gestational carrier, weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces and measured 20 inches.

"Bill and I are blessed beyond words to welcome Edward into our lives," Giuliana said shortly after the big debut. "Thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way. We are so in love with the little guy already!"

Well, between the private plane and his doting parents, Edward Duke's life is off to a pretty great start!
