Katharine McPhee is enjoying her life as a new mom.
The American Idol alum (36) and her husband David Foster (71) announced in February that they would welcome their first child together.
“It feels just as natural,” the singer / actress told People magazine on Friday. “I had a very good baby; he was so good. I’m so in love!”
And when it comes to her body after pregnancy, the star insisted that she not stress about it.
‘I thought I would have this pressure [to bounce back] but I was just as grateful and happy that I had a healthy baby and that I felt very good emotionally and physically, “McPhee explained. I’m so glad I did not have this crazy print to fit in any jeans I have in my closet. ‘

“I do not even think of them!” McPhee continued. “In my everyday life, I would have an event that had to come or I had to practice, and it’s just really nice to have a break and be happy where I am.”
McPhee said motherhood also gave her plenty of time to enjoy her family, which is more important than squeezing into any jeans.
‘I’m up with him for five hours and we’re listening to his father’s piano album [“Eleven Words”] and we have our quiet time, “she said. And at night before we put him in his room, it’s just the three of us in bed. We take a lot of pictures! It’s really sweet. ‘
Recently, McPhee made an appearance in “Today with Hoda and Jenna” where she revealed the baby’s name: Rennie David Foster.

“We chose Rennie because I was actually giving birth for a while, and we did not choose a name,” she recalls. “We had a few names, but my husband was in a text chain with his sisters and one of his sisters suggested an old family name.”
McPhee said the name belonged to Foster’s great-grandfather and great-uncle, so “it has a long history in his family.”
“My husband said, ‘Hello, Ren Foster,’ and we said, ‘This is a good name. This is a strong name,'” the star said.
It seems to be going well for the new mom, because she said motherhood was ‘the sweetest’ and ‘the best’ experience.
