Everyone, meet Melissa Rycroft's newborn baby boy, Cayson Jack!

The Bachelor alum and Dancing With the Stars winner took to social media to share the first photo of her baby boy after giving birth to him on Wednesday. She shared the sweet black and white photo from the hospital room, writing, "Cayson Jack. 5-18-16. Welcome to the world, little one."

E! News exclusively confirmed Cayson's birth on May 18, weighing in a 8lbs and 12oz. He is the third child for Melissa and her husband, Tye Strickland, joining big sister Ava Grace, born in 2011, and brother Beckett Thomas who was born in 2014.

In fact, Melissa chatted with us a few months before giving birth and said practice from her first two children made her less worried about everything this time around.

"I am much more relaxed going in," she told us at the time. "We're at the very end of this pregnancy and my friends keep laughing at me because we don't even have a nursery. I feel so unprepared, but at the same time, having gone through this twice before, I know the things you need with a newborn…I've learned the things to not stress about."

Of course this bodes the question: Can we expect more little ones in the future? 

"I say we're good to go, but my husband hasn't taken care of that permanently yet. So you can never say never," she answered. "As of now, I feel like we're going to be complete when he comes. We're going to be outnumbered, which is already a scary thing!"
