New dads Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent shared the first photo of their daughter Poppy via Instagram Sunday.

“Perspective. Our daughter continues to be the biggest gift, the most spectacular teacher,” Rachel Zoe’s former assistant captioned the precious black and white image. “#handinhandwego.”

First-time father Berkus went on to repost the photo.

The couple – who have been married for nearly one year – welcomed Poppy via surrogate mother on March 23.

The celebrity interior designer shared the happy news via social media.

“We are so excited to finally be a family of 3! As anyone with a newborn knows, we have our work cut out for us but couldn’t be happier to be embarking on this life changing journey that is parenthood,” he wrote. “Thank you all for your well wishes and support.”

Before Poppy was born, Berkus opened up to Elle Decor about preparing for their daughter’s arrival.

“We have a lot of ideas floating around, a Pinterest page, and a file of things saved that we like, but we haven’t really decided yet,” he said. “Because I’m Jewish, I’m not doing the nursery in advance. But our ideas are kind of an extension of our own design philosophy anyway.”

He added: “My philosophy for years has been to think about the things that are going to grow with the child and the pieces that we can incorporate that are sort of unexpected. Like for the changing table, does it have to be from a catalog or can the base of it be something interesting with a top that we order from online? I think that what’s important is that this is probably the last moment where you’re going to be able to design something for your kid without factoring in their opinion. So this is it, just go for it and it’s a whole different conversation by the time they’re 3 or 4 and you’re trying to figure out how to incorporate cartoon sheets.”
