Having welcomed her first child with husband Samuel Lightner Cusick a week early, the season 25 winner of "Dancing with the Stars" shared with her social media followers the first photo of their new bundle of joy, and described her daughter's arrival as a "beautiful surprise."

I can't wait to snuggle her!!!!!!!" Artem Chigvintsev raved, "Omg congratulations, so so beautiful," and Britt Stewart exclaimed, "Beyond happy for you and Sam!!! Congratulations!"

All of the pictures captured the former "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant displaying her baby bump which was painted into a basketball. Her husband stood next to her dressed as a basketball player.
