Actress Katherine Heigl and her husband, Josh Kelley, welcomed their first son into the world on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2016.
Up until this week, the couple has kept baby Joshua out of the spotlight, but finally, after a month of waiting, the happy couple is sharing photos of their newborn. On Wednesday, Heigl posted a photo to her Instagram of the little cutie, sharing that they’re all ” happy, healthy and beyond grateful!” Here’s a first look their beautiful baby boy, Joshua Bishop Kelley Jr.

Joshua Bishop Kelley Jr. is the couple’s third child, and he joins big sisters Adalaide, 4, and Naleigh, who is 8 years old.
The former Grey’s Anatomy star, 38, and her musician husband, 36, first announced they were expecting this past June on her blog, Those Heavenly Days.
Heigl told People Magazine she couldn’t be more excited:
The Kelley clan is thrilled to announce that we are expecting a third addition to our family. Naleigh and Adalaide could not be more excited to welcome their new sibling into the fold, and Josh and I are overflowing with joy and gratitude.
While this is the couple’s third child, it’s Heigl’s first time becoming a biological mother. Their first two children were adopted.

The couple was considering adopting again, fostering a child or “pregnancy if possible,” Heigl told People.
“Seeing as I have never been pregnant and as my OB/GYN reminded me last year, I’m of advanced maternal age, I wasn’t sure pregnancy was even in the cards for us,” she said. “Turns out it was very much in the cards!”
