Southern Charm New Orleans' Reagan Charleston Welcomes Her First Child

The Big Easy bunch just got a little bigger! Southern Charm New Orleans' Reagan Charleston welcomed her first child with husband Reece Thomas, daughter Reece Ellis Thomas, on Wednesday, June 12.

Reagan announced the happy news on Instagram on Thursday, June 13. The new mom shared that her baby arrived at 12:19 p.m. on June 12, weighing 7 pounds and 5 ounces. "She’s here, and she is perfect," Reagan gushed in the post, which features a photo of herself and her hubby in the hospital after they welcomed their baby girl. "Life will never be the same."

This is the first child for the Southern Charm New Orleans couple, who actually found themselves in the hospital earlier this week when Reece came down with a case of appendicitis less than 24 hours before Reagan was slated to give birth. Reagan shared on Instagram that Reece would have to be in the hospital for at least a week, and they planned "to wheel him up for the delivery."

The birth of Reagan and Reece's baby girl comes shortly after she surprised fans with her pregnancy news in May. "I’m so ready to be a mom,” Reagan told PEOPLE at the time. “I keep thinking about the fact that I’m bringing a life into this world. I’m going to have a little person who I’m going to feed and raise. It’s the warmest feeling. I’m so excited."

Reagan's new arrival is all part of her new chapter following her divorce from husband Jeff Charleston after nearly six years of marriage. She soon found love again with Reece, whom she dated more than 10 years ago.

There's another special moment coming up for Reagan and Reece in an all-new episode of Southern Charm New Orleans coming up on Sunday at 9/8c. Watch a preview, below.
