Kate Hudson gave birth to her daughter, Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, on October 2, 2018. And just a few days later, the actress has shared the very first photo of her new baby with the world, via Instagram.

Along with the simple caption, "🌹Our little rosebud🌹," Hudson revealed a photo of her gorgeous new daughter, who is completely swaddled in a blanket, and has the cutest little bow on her head. Basically, she is beyond adorable, just as we expected.

Earlier in the week, Hudson announced Rani's birth on Instagram, and it's clear that mother and father are overjoyed with their new arrival:

Rani is Hudson's first child with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa. She also has two sons from previous relationships—14-year-old Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and 6-year-old Bingham, with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy of Muse.

On Instagram, the actress revealed the meaning behind her daughter's unusual name writing, "We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie) after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor."

As for how her family was adjusting to their newest member, Hudson also revealed that, "Everyone is doing well and happy as can be. Our family thank you for all the love and blessings that have been sent our way and we send our right back."

Hudson announced her pregnancy back in April 2018, sharing the sweetest gender reveal video for her third child on Instagram. Her entire family was overjoyed to discover that they'd soon be welcoming a baby girl:
