"He's here," Witney, 29, wrote over a photo of herself cuddling with her newborn son on Sunday.
"Baby is getting 100% oxygen and doing great but breathing a lot fast. They are trying to get it to slow down a little in the NICU. Send prayers!"
About two hours later, Witney revealed that her baby was "back in my arms" and added via Instagram Stories, "He has to be closely monitored but I'm so happy I'm holding him now."
Later that day, Witney confirmed, "We are all good over here! Baby is doing great. Thank you for checking in on us. More updates soon."
Witney gushed about how it was "the best Mother's Day gift" she "could have asked for."
"Just like that and we're a family of four!" Witney wrote on Instagram Stories, adding that she celebrated with a big sushi feast in the hospital after giving birth.
Jet joins Witney and her husband's first-born son, Leo, who was born in early January 2021.

"My boys. Could there be a better Mother's Day gift?? We are on cloud nine and soaking in every second," Witney wrote in the caption.

In her Instagram Stories on Monday, Witney also posted the last photos she had taken of her baby bump and lamented, "Kind of sad I don't have him all to myself anymore. Any other women feel that??"
Witney went on to share her birth story, revealing, "Contractions were every 3-4 [minutes] apart and getting painful when we got to hospital. The doctor wanted to get into the OR quickly... getting ready for surgery. Within ten minutes, we had baby. We were so relieved and so happy to have him here!"
Witney went on to post a photo of Carson holding Baby No. 2 for the first time. She also shared how she listened to music during the C-section, which made her experience "much more calm."
Witney gushed about "this feeling" of motherhood and how her son is a "blessing."
Witney and Carson just moved from Utah to Florida in March.

Witney announced her second pregnancy live on Dancing with the Stars' 31st season, which streamed on Disney+, in November 2022.
"I'm so excited to finally announce that Carson, Leo and myself are expecting Baby No. 2!" Witney shared after taking the dance floor with her celebrity partner Wayne Brady. (They ultimately finished the competition in third place).
After the ballroom audience cheered and clapped, Witney continued, "So, I'm so blessed, and this just felt like a really, really good time to share it! And I can finally share it, which is great!"
Witney then revealed the gender of her second child, a baby boy, on Instagram in early January 2023.
Witney also gave birth to Leo in 2021 via an "unexpected c-section" following "a really hard 24 hour labor."
One month after welcoming Leo into the world, Witney told Us Weekly of her delivery, "I pushed for two and a half hours. I was fully dilated and the baby just did not want to come out. He just was, like, stuck underneath my pelvis for so long."
"His heart rate started going really high," she continued. "So we had to do an emergency C-section and obviously, we did whatever was right for the baby."
Witney recalled those turn of events as being "traumatic" because she didn't feel "prepared" for surgery and she was also battling coronavirus at the time.
"I had in my head that I was not going to do that at all," the So You Think You Can Dance ninth-season contestant told Us. "We're just really happy that he's healthy. That's the most important thing."
Witney revealed she was pregnant with her first child in late July 2020.
Witney then announced in August 2020 she had a son on the way. She and Carson discovered the baby's sex at a big gender reveal party.
Witney got engaged to her high-school sweetheart in late 2015 and then the couple got married in Salt Lake City on New Year's Day in 2016. The wedding took place after the pair had been dating for four years.
