Stacey Bendet, the designer behind the celebrity-beloved brand Alice + Olivia, has welcomed her third daughter with husband Eric Eisner.

Stacey, 37, delivered baby Athena Belle Eisner at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on Tuesday at 10:39am via C-section, and her husband, Eric Eisner, was on hand to document the whole thing on Instagram.

The little girl weighed 7lbs, 12oz and joined big sisters Eloise Breckenridge, six, and Scarlet Haven, four.

'And she's here!' Stacey wrote on Instagram to caption her first snap of her new daughter. 'Athena Belle Eisner mommy daddy and her big sisters could not be more in love! [sic]'

She also shared her news on Twitter, writing: 'Miss Athena is a dream!!!'

Her husband, however, beat her to the punch, having already shared a photo of Athena being handled by doctors in the delivery room.

Eric, who is the son of former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, also posted a touching photo of himself cradling the latest addition to his family with the caption: 'Only get a few first impression like this in life if lucky.'

While she is no doubt thrilled to bring home her new daughter, Stacey - whose designs count Gwyneth Platrow, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kerry Washington as fans - isn't like other new moms.

'I am definitely the only maternity ward woman in hot pink Louboutin flip flops and a custom neon and black lace alice + olivia kimono robe,' she said after giving birth to Scarlet in 2011.

And little Athena Belle's new nursery is equally as stylish. Stacey has shared several pics from inside the newborn's room, which includes a jungle-themed floral wallpaper, a luxe blue velvet curtain, and plenty of framed photos and artwork.

In addition to a bassinet and crib, the nursery is also outfitted with a twin bed so mom can stay close by during the early months.

Staying fit: Before Athena was born, Stacey used the nursery as a makeshift yoga room

Prepared: Stacey had a doctor on hand at her New York Fashion Week presentation last week in case she went into labor early

Stacey has kept very busy in her final weeks of pregnancy. Besides decorating and furnishing the nursery - with a little help from her two older daughters - she also presented a collection at New York Fashion Week.

In fact, she told the New York Post at her show on September 15, she was afraid she might even given birth during the presentation.

'I was having contractions last night, and I called my doctor and I’m like, "I think you need to come to the show because I might be going into labor in the middle,"' she said. 'I’m gonna have a baby any second now.;
