Sharing the news in a joint Instagram post, Payton and Hannah revealed their baby daughter. They've been posting their stories about their child; it's adorable seeing how much joy she's already brought into their lives.

Captioning the Instagram post, they shared that they've named their daughter "Sunnie Lynn Smith." She was born on Feb 12, although they shared the news a few days after her birth (naturally). She's "7 lb 6 oz of pure sunshine," they say.

"Thank you Jesus for our sweet girl."

In the photos are some closeups of Sunnie Lynn, and of the couple together with her. There's also an adorable video of Payton Smith with his new daughter. He cradles her and rocks in his chair, his attention completely absorbed by her.

Payton also shared a photo of him and Sunnie Lynn to his since-expired story, where he wrote, "New project dropped. Really really proud of this one."

They are both so proud of their daughter and it's incredibly sweet to see.

You can see their baby pictures below.

Payton Smith And Hannah Explains That They've Always Wanted A Family

Payton Smith and Hannah spoke to PEOPLE before the birth of Sunnie Lynn, where they explained how important family is to them.

"I think that family is one of the most important things for both of us, and we have really great parents and family members that have modeled that very well," said Hannah. "So that's always been something we were excited about but didn't think it would happen this soon. But we're excited."

Although they admitted the baby was "unplanned," there was not an ounce of regret.

Payton explained how he broke down in tears upon hearing the news. "I broke down and I bawled like a baby. Nothing prepares you for that. So, I was an emotional wreck. I felt all the things. I felt like, I don't know, everything that my parents did made sense in 10 seconds. Every emotion that they've ever felt, I felt all within that first 30 seconds of finding out I was going to be a dad."

A huge congratulations from WOC to the happy new family! There are only exciting things to come.
