"One week with my little love ✨," she wrote in the caption of the photo. "I promise I will share more when we are ready. Trying to soak up all of these precious moments and transition into parenthood the best we can. I do finally understand what everyone has been preaching to me… “You think you know what love is, and then you have a child.” My heart is forever his and my world is so much brighter with him in it 🤍," she continued.

Don’t pressure yourselves to share his name with us take all the time that you need.

I hope that you guys are doing well and staying safe and that you have an amazing day. @jennajohnson."
