Meanwhile, Reid posted a solo pic of a smiley baby Caiden. Her loving caption expressed the "pure bliss" she felt from the first moment she finally met her little one. "My little pumpkin and that smirk. After almost 26 hours of an unfortunate induced labor the greatest joy entered our lives. Caiden Zane Lochte born 6-8-17. 7lbs and 14oz of pure bliss," the new mom wrote.
"I Immediately placed him on my chest, he looked me in the eyes and just gazed. I burst into tears and I will cherish that unforgettable moment for the rest of my life. That moment, I felt so many sweet unexplainable feelings and an infinite amount of love," she stated. "He is amazing in every single way and I'm so lucky to be his mommy."
The Playboy model continued, "Ryan stayed by [my] side the entire [time] and encouraged me along the way. To see the look on his face when he saw Caiden was adorable and priceless, it was such an emotional moment for the both of us. I'm in awe every day and I love watching our little man grow daily. His face melts my heart. #love #family." Aww!
