Lauren gave fans a first glimpse of her daughter's face in a slideshow of pictures on her own account.

"There are no words that will ever be able to explain what just happened to my heart," she captioned the post.

Paul announced Lauren's pregnancy in November, and said on the Jan. 23 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that his daughter was due "any minute now." He previously told Us Weekly he and Lauren had been spending a lot of time preparing their baby girl's nursery.

"It's quickly turned into our favorite room in the house," the star shared. "Everything's very light and just warm, it feels like a little nest. It's the most exciting time of our lives."

Paul is best known for playing Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad. He presently portrays Eddie Lane on the Hulu series The Path, which returned for a third season in January.
