Jordin Sparks is feeling great, just three days after giving birth to her first child.

The 28-year-old “No Air” singer and her husband, Dana Isaiah, welcomed a baby boy named Dana Isaiah Thomas Jr. (DJ for short), on May 2nd. Sparks, however, was already back to work on Saturday, attending the Show Dogs premiere at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Los Angeles.

ET’s Kevin Frazier caught up with the new mom on the blue carpet, where she gushed about her “really, really cute” son and how’s she’s feeling post-pregnancy.

“I’m really good. I’m sore, but good. He’s here,” said Sparks, looking stunning in a navy floral mini dress by Saloni. “It’s just fun to stare at him. His name is DJ, named after daddy, and the moment was incredible! To finally have him in my arms and stare at him. He’s really here. He made it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. He’s just so perfect.”

“He’s really, really cute. He’s really calm, but he does have some lungs,” she joked. “Maybe he’ll be a singer.”

Little DJ was born at the Natural Birth Center & Women’s Wellness in Los Angeles and weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces. He measured 21.5 inches long, Sparks told ET.

“We did a birthing center,” she explained. “We stayed for a little while. We checked his weight and stuff and then [we were like], ‘We’re going to go home and sleep.’ So we left within four or five hours.”

Jordan also explained that her husband and mid-wife were the only two with her at the time of the birth. “My mom was here [in Los Angeles]… with my aunt and uncle just chilling around waiting until we were home. My nana drove in from Phoenix and then drove back, because we didn’t have anyone at the birthing center. It was just me, Dana and my mid-wife,” she shared.
