Emily also revealed her son with the Golden Knights NHL hockey player was born 22 inches long.
Congratulatory messages poured in from Bachelor Nation.
"Oh my gosh a real life ANGEL!" commented Lauren Bushnell, who competed against Emily and her twin sister Haley Ferguson for Ben Higgins' heart on The Bachelor's 20th season.
"Aww congratulations!! 8 lbs +!! So happy for you," wrote Amanda Stanton, another The Bachelor 20 alum.
The Bachelor 19 contestant Ashley Iaconetti commented, "Congratulations! Holy Moley! Exactly dada!"
And Andi Dorfman, who starred on The Bachelorette's tenth season, gushed, "Omg I'm so happy for you!!!!!!"
Emily announced her pregnancy in mid-November with an Instagram post.
"Starting a family was something we've talked about since early on in our relationship and it is a dream come true to announce baby Karlsson," Emily captioned a sweet video of the couple admiring sonogram images while laying on a picnic blanket together outdoors.
Emily noticeably wore baby's breath in her hair for the video, which also featured the couple's dog wearing a "big bro" bandana and footage of an ultrasound visit.

Emily revealed the sex of her first baby shortly afterwards by posting a video on Instagram of the couple's gender reveal party. In the video, Emily and William shot off cannons filled with blue confetti and smoke in a desert setting.
Emily married William, her "dream guy," on July 23, 2022 at Resorts World Las Vegas in Nevada.
"He's everything I've ever dreamed of and more," Emily told Us Weekly at the time.
Emily also told the magazine shortly after saying, "I do," that she was "ready for kids" and had been for a while by that point.
"We would be beyond blessed and thrilled if we get pregnant soon after the wedding," Emily revealed. "We do not want to pressure ourselves but if it happens it happens and we will be so happy."
Emily and William began dating in November 2017, and the pair got engaged in December 2020, shortly after their four-year dating anniversary.

Emily called the proposal "perfect," and added, "William Karlsson, thank you for loving me for me. You love me when I'm at my worst and when I'm at my best. I don't know how I got so lucky. I can't wait to do life with you forever."

Haley Ferguson celebrated a joint butterfly-themed bridal shower on April 30, and before that, they had a blast at their joint bachelorette party in March 2022 in Las Vegas.
Emily and Haley, who co-host "The Twinning at Life" podcast, found fame when they both competed on The Bachelor in 2016.
After neither bubbly influencer and model was able to win Ben's heart, they subsequently appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's third and fourth seasons.
Following Ben's stint on The Bachelor, he and his then-fiancee, Lauren Bushnell, starred on a season of Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After? on Freeform.
Since Emily and Haley often appeared on the series as Lauren's best friends, the twins took over for Ben and Lauren and starred on the subsequent season of the spinoff, which was renamed The Twins: Happily Ever After?.
Freeform only aired one season of The Twins: Happily Ever After? in 2017.
While Emily got romantically involved with William in 2017, Haley returned to Mexico for another shot at love on Bachelor in Paradise's sixth edition in 2019.
Haley proceeded to go Instagram official with NHL player, Oula Palve, in January 2020, and they announced their engagement in May 2021.
The couple got married in June 2022 at the same hotel where Emily exchanged vows with William.
