Chrissy Teigen and John Legend recently welcomed their second child, a son, Miles Theodore Stephens. He joins their first child, two-year-old daughter Luna Simone Stephens. Chrissy had both kids through IVF, and last week she said she was over being pregnant, tweeting, "Happy pregnant Chrissy is gone. meet OVER IT Chrissy." So, Miles' birth came at a good time!
Yesterday the 32-year-old mom shared the first photo of the adorable newborn on Instagram. "Hello, world! This is Miles Theodore Stephens," wrote Chrissy in the caption. "We are drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles. Our household feels overwhelmed with love. Thank you for all your well wishes!"

In the past, Chrissy's always kept it real, sharing brutally honest moments from motherhood. After having Luna, she shared photos of her stretch marks to show everyone the realities of post-baby bodies. Now, after having Miles, she's sharing - or oversharing- about the not-so-glamorous postpartum life. "I can confirm postpartum life is 90% better when you don't rip to your butthole," wrote Chrissy on Twitter. "Baby boy: 1 point. Luna: 0. "
But the Lip Sync Battle host didn't stop there. On Instagram, she uploaded a hilarious photo of herself holding Miles, while wearing postpartum underwear. (And in the background, you can see Luna playing a harp.) As a dude with no kids, I didn't know postpartum underwear was a thing. But the Internet tells me they're disposable mesh underwear that many mothers wear to hold their maternity pads in place after giving birth. So, they're like adult diapers, I guess? Thanks, Chrissy! I never wanted to learn this, but now I'll never forget.

In the caption, Chrissy wrote, "If you haven’t seen @aliwong’s new Netflix special, you are bad at picking Netflix specials #asianpearunderwear." The reference to "Asian Pear Underwear" comes from her friend Ali Wong's stand-up comedy special "Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife." In the special, Wong jokes the mesh underwear is made from "the same material that they package those fancy Korean pears in."
Moms loved Chrissy's realness, and applauded her for sharing. One person commented "Keeping it real @chrissyteigen, I remember those hospital undergarments oh so well." Another user wrote, "This is what women actually look like after having a baby," while another added, "This is real motherhood right here!"
But perhaps the best comment came from the user amorelie agreed, who wrote, "Chrissy, congrats and thank you! We're happy and proud you're keeping it real and inspiring women around the world to break the taboos around motherhood - including unrealistic expectations about post-pregnancy bodies."

Chrissy also took some time out to troll her husband, John Legend. The singer attended the Billboard Music Awards, and she facetiously blasted him on Twitter, wondering why he wasn't home taking care of his baby. She appears to be making fun of mommy-shamers, who shame other mothers because they have different beliefs. And, I'm assuming, have annoyed Chrissy in the past, wondering why she was at an event, instead of raising her baby.
Well, congratulations, Chrissy, and keep slaying in that Asian Pear Underwear.

Following the announcement of the birth of her third child, Chrissy Teigen has now shared the adorable name as well as a snapshot of her new daughter.
Chrissy and her husband John Legend, 44, also share a daughter Luna, six, and son Miles, four, who both appeared to be over the moon with their little sister.
Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old posted a photo of her baby girl with her siblings, telling fans she named the little one Esti Maxine Stephens.
"She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens - the house is bustling and our family could not be happier," she wrote.
"Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c-section!?", she continued.
To conclude, she thanked her fans for all the support as the family celebrates this special occasion: "We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes - we feel it all!"
Back in August, Chrissy took to Instagram to announce that she and John were expecting another child following a previous heartbreaking miscarriage.
"The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again. 1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way," she captioned a Stories post of her growing bump.
"Every appointment I've said to myself, 'ok if it's healthy today I'll announce' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I'm just too nervous still.
"I don't think I'll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I'm feeling hopeful and amazing," before concluding: "Ok phew it's been very hard keeping this in for so long!"
Chrissy's cautiousness comes as no surprise as she and her family experienced a devastating loss just two years ago when she was pregnant with her son Jack.
Unfortunately, their little one passed away following pregnancy complications.
However, earlier this year Chrissy announced that she was starting IVF treatment again, in the hopes that her little family of four would become one person bigger.
Speaking to PEOPLE about how excited their children were at the prospect of having a new sibling, John said: "We're all excited, and, you know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what's happening, so they're really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they'll be good at being a big sister and big brother."
Chrissy then added: "Since we did IVF, we knew probably nine days after we did the transfer that it had worked and we were pregnant. I told them very, very early. They knew that I was going in for the transfer, that we were going to go in and put this egg inside Mommy's belly. So they knew from the very, very beginning, and they knew there was a chance it might not work because that's happened before."
We're happy that everything worked out best for the family! Congratulations!

It doesn't feel like it was that long ago we were hearing that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend had a second child on the way, but now the baby is born - upping the adorable factor of Chrissy's Instagram by a considerable amount.
In November last year, the model confirmed that she was pregnant with a second child in the cutest way. In the Instagram video, captioned "It's John's!", she asked her firstborn what was in her pregnant belly - to which her 17-month-old daughter Luna replied "baby".
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjn3s27njw6/?taken-by=chrissyteigen]]
In the months since her Instagram and Twitter game was pretty incredible, with some hilarious moments - including the frequent trolling of her musician husband. Then, in mid-May they couple announced that they had become parents of a second child - this time a boy.
On Twitter, Teigen wrote "Somebody's herrrrrrre!" along with some telltale emojis.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/996984651842437127]]
In the following days, we saw John Legend criticise Donald Trump in an emotional tweet, using his baby son as a reference for why we shouldn't dehumanise those who have done wrong in their lives. Then, Chrissy Teigen surprised us all with a particularly over-sharing tweet about the process of giving birth to her newborn son.
A week later she shared the first photo of the baby boy, and announced to the world that his name was Miles. "Hello, world! This is Miles Theodore Stephens, " Teigen wrote. "We are drowning in his little peeps and nuzzles. Our household feels overwhelmed with love. Thank you for all your well wishes!"
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BjAcHObH-Ex/]]
We also were privy to some more glimpses into the early life of baby Miles, as well as his meetings with his fellow sibling Luna. We got to see the boy at 11 days old with his big sister Luna, and it was irresistibly adorable - just look:

While things have worked out brilliantly for Chrissy, John, Luna and Miles, it wasn't all according to plan. In fact, Miles arrived three weeks earlier than his due date, which must have been a surprise for his parents. The actual due date for little Miles was 7th June, but that doesn't mean that Teigen couldn't find a way to mark the occasion.
She shared an adorable photo of her sleeping child, along with a caption that was as funny as it was cute. "Today was your original due date but you heard how cool we are since that's all we talk about (how cool we are) and you wanted to see what all the fuss was about, 3 weeks early," she wrote, adding: "Well we tricked u! We are boring AF but we love you!"

It's hard to relate to a lot of celebrity couples out there, and while John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have definitely got a bigger house and more money to their names than the rest of us - it's hard not to love them just a little bit.

Chrissy Teigen has been praised by her followers after she published a super honest account of postpartum life following the birth of her baby girl.
Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old posted a photo of her wearing a black slip dress, paired with a deep, salmon-colored cardigan and beige boots. Her face was covered with a black hat, and in her hand was an iced coffee - an essential for Chrissy, it seems.
Not only that, but the model also kept it as real as possible, as she tends to do on social media; not attempting to hide the wet patches seeping through her dress after lactating.
Alongside the image, she wrote: "OMW [on my way] to bandage together both my wound and 3.8-second clips of Beyonce performing in Dubai until I get a full HBO special."
Have a look at the post below:Fans took to the comments to commend Chrissy, with many praising her for her "authenticity."
One wrote: "Love that you are normalizing leaking through everything in the first weeks postpartum. You wake up at night and you’re like 'Is it pee? Is it milk? Or is it sweat?' So many body fluid options. Thank you for sharing."
"The milk spots add an extra layer of authenticity to this," added another with the flame and laughing emoji.
"You just had a c-section and you are in heels? #queen," praised a third, while another commented a similar response: "The fact that you’re wearing heels and bias cut silk just days postpartum..."
Hey, you've got to respect it.
She followed up in the comments with a hilarious take on her own situation writing: "My baby: Wah, Me: Learning to edit."
The news comes just days after the mom-of-three posted a snapshot of her daughter Luna, six, and son Miles, four, who both appeared to be excited about having a little sister.
"She’s here! Esti Maxine Stephens - the house is bustling and our family could not be happier," she wrote in the caption.
"Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a c-section!?", she continued.
To conclude, she thanked her fans for all the support as the family celebrates this special occasion: "We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes - we feel it all!"
Speaking to PEOPLE about the excitement of expanding their little family, John said: "We're all excited, and, you know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what's happening, so they're really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they'll be good at being a big sister and big brother."
Chrissy then added: "Since we did IVF, we knew probably nine days after we did the transfer that it had worked and we were pregnant. I told them very, very early.
"They knew that I was going in for the transfer, that we were going to go in and put this egg inside Mommy's belly. So they knew from the very, very beginning, and they knew there was a chance it might not work because that's happened before."
Congratulations! We can't wait to see more snapshots of little Esti!

We all know that Chrissy Teigen is the queen of social media - whether, she's posting striking selfies or clapping back at negative commenters - she's always her authentic self online.
And just yesterday, she took to Instagram to share the moment one of her toddlers photobombed her topless photoshoot.
The snap was captioned: "Please move, mommy is trying to be thirsty". It shows the moment when two-year-old Miles Theodore gatecrashed Tiegen's adult photo session.
The 35-year-old model and cookbook author is seen wearing a black bodysuit, which - given the nature of her recently interrupted photoshoot - is not covering her chest area. Instead, Teigen uses her arms to conceal much of her chest.
Teigen looks down at Miles who is posing between her legs.
At the time of writing, the snap has racked up a massive 1.4 million likes and over 13K comments.
Many moms related to the hilariously intrusive behaviour of the toddler, with one writing: "Ha ha. Only a mom knows this level of lack of privacy!"
Another wrote: "A mom teaching their kids to be proud of their bodies... I see that as good parenting @chrissyteigen."
A third wrote: "I think this is beautiful. If we don’t teach little boys that women’s bodies are shameful, then they won’t grow up to think that they are! Love how open you are with your parenting style/moments!!!"
A different person shared alongside three laughing emojis: "My poor kids have seen me get ready while running around the house topless more than once."
Others noted the striking resemblance between Miles and his dad, John Legend. Indeed, one person remarked: "Wow he has never looked more like @johnlegend!"
And when one user commented on the photo, referring to it as "cringing", Teigen responded: "Wait til [they] find out we take baths together."

Chrissy Teigen's social media antics are favourites of the internet. Whether it's her cooking, her self-deprecating jokes, or her hilarious trolling of her husband John Legend, she's become one of the most popular celebs on Twitter and Instagram, with 18.4 million followers on the photo-sharing site alone. And it doesn't hurt that she has two of the cutest kids around.
Since the birth of her second child, Miles, in May, we've been able to see some of the most adorable snaps of the youngest members of their family. The first photo of Luna and Miles together that she released had her legions of fans stunned. With her brother at just eleven days old, Luna holds the pacifier for the little one in an unbelievably cute shot of the pair.
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BjWPFT6nU3q/]]
Teigen's second pregnancy was announced all the way back in November last year, through a cute little video of Luna pointing to her belly and saying "Baby!"
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BbxZhF5l2gn/]]
At the end of last month, the model opened up about the process of having both Luna and Miles, for which she and her husband used IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation). Teigen posted an innocent snap of Miles, along with the caption, "Hey dudes". However, one fan got personal and asked her, "I know IVF was used for Luna, was it used for baby brother also?"
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BkgAhZWnv9v/]]
Teigen, who has called the IVF treatment she used with Luna a "miracle" process in the past, then replied:
"Yep, he was on ice a smidge longer. Science and the human body are beautiful. I wasn’t offended by it – people are just curious and I think hearing success stories gives people hope. I’m all for talking about IVF."
Glad to see someone with her platform being honest about it, many commenters spoke about their own experiences too. "Thank you so much for being open about IVF," one wrote. "I am on day 5 of injections and your posts about your sweet babies are totally keeping me positive."
Now, Teigen has posted an adorable photo of herself holding both Luna and Miles, along with a caption in line with her typically self-aware humour. She wrote: “Should I post the one where his head looks unsupported but my face looks good and Luna is over it, the one where his head is supported but my face is just okay and Luna is over it, or him crying and my face looks okay and luna is over it?”
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bkvwd_znskP/]]
Given the fact that the photo showed them at the beach, with her newborn under the glare of the sun, there were plenty of commenters out there to criticise Teigen for her actions (even though they have no real context for what happened).
"Why is that baby out in the sun like that ?that’s why he crying," one wrote, while another said: "Poor child is crying & taking in the sun !! sheesh." But Teigen wasn't having any of it. When one fan commented that Miles didn't "look too happy with the sun in his little eyes," she replied: "he told me he loves it".
This isn't the only time Teigen has managed to be both witty and entirely relatable on social media, as she recently showed us all a genius hack for taking a toddler's photo.
