Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have just begun the toughest job of their lives—parenthood.

The couple announced on Sunday morning that they welcomed their baby girl Luna Simone Stephens into the world on Thursday, and have dived head-first into a whole new world full of sleep deprivation, dirty diapers and absolute joy.

"John and Chrissy are in such a joyful place with their healthy baby girl Luna," a source close to the new mom tells E! News. "They are surrounded by family and close friends. Chrissy and John can't stop gushing over Luna. She is perfect!"

And while we have yet to see their newborn, you can bet that she's just as beautiful as you've probably imagined. "Luna looks like a mini Chrissy and has some of John's features. Luna has cute round cheeks and looks like a baby model already," the insider explains, but adds, "They are not looking to get her into modeling anytime soon."

For now, Legend and Teigen are enjoying their new life as parents, which is also serving as some inspiration when it comes to work.

"This is the best time in their lives. They are natural parents. They look at Luna as a blessing cause it was not an easy road having a baby. John sings to Luna all the time. This whole experience is stirring up some new music for John. Luna is an inspiration to them both."

As for getting a grip on their new day-to-day routines post-pregnancy, the source tells E! News, "Sleeping schedules have been off and hard on them, but they want to be with Luna every time she opens up her eyes, so they are working together. They are very hands-on parents. Chrissy naturally dropped weight already since she had the baby. She is breastfeeding. She will start working out soon once she feels up to it."

But the most important part? "Chrissy and John are extremely at peace with life now."
