Chrissy Teigen and John Legend just welcomed a baby boy into their family, and while it's only been a few days, we've already been blessed with adorable Instagram posts and very real tweets all about little Miles Theodore Stephens.

On Sunday night, John stepped out of the house to perform at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards — which was perfect fodder for Chrissy to throw some shade his way about ditching the family.

"Wow didn't u just have a baby John smh go take care of it!!!!!!" Chrissy tweeted, before throwing in a "disgusting" in there.

"True, true," Legend tweeted in response.

To entice him home in time, she also shared what was on the menu for dinner that night: short ribs. He shared a video of himself rushing home in time for dinner and thankfully, he made it in time for food.

But in addition to sharing her post-baby menu, Chrissy has also been very open and candid about exactly what goes on after giving birth. On Saturday night, she shared that "postpartum life is 90% better when you don't rip to your butthole," — something that she suggested happened with first-born Luna.

She also posted a glamourous photo of her in postpartum mesh underwear, with a baby in her arms, Luna roaming in the background, and a pear in her other hand.

"If you haven’t seen Ali Wong's new Netflix special, you are bad at picking Netflix specials," she wrote, referencing the "Hard Knock Wife" comedy special that hit the streaming service this month. In the special, Wong jokes about the mesh underwear intended to keep pads in place to prevent leakage — and how it's similar material to that found on asian pears to protect the ripe fruit.

Wong and Chrissy's revelations on what motherhood post-delivery is really like have struck a chord with folks online — including Dwayne Johnson and his wife.

After the birth of Miles, it's officially official: you really can count on Chrissy to always keep it real.
