Stacey wrote over a picture of pink and floral sleepsuit: "Soooo to my family on here I got the best birthday present I could have ever wished for."
She later posted the first snaps of the ecstatic family with a message to the little one, saying she and Joe and her big brothers are 'so in love.'
"She’s Here. Born at Pickle Cottage on mummy’s birthday," she wrote.
"Our little girl… Happy birthday my darling daughter… We all love you more than you could ever imagine.
"Your brothers, your daddy and I are so in love.
"Thank you for the most incredible 9 months. Now we cannot wait for the rest of our lives with you…"
Well-wishers had wondered if Stacey had given birth on her birthday after she went missing from social media during the Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp outage.
A couple of weeks ago Stacey showed off her baby bump in all its glory in stunning keepsake snaps taken by her photographer dad David Solomon.
Stacey shared the photos with her 4.6m followers to mark her pregnancy with her fourth child as she thanked her dad.
She wrote: "Thank you dad for helping me make special memories tonight... I wish i'd done this every time but I'm so glad we did it this time.
"For the last time..."
In a moving message to her little one she said: "So grateful for the chance to grow you little one now we cant wait to meet you."
Stacey explained she wanted her dad to take some photos of her bump for the last time before she goes into labour.
"My dad has come round to take some special bump pictures before it's too late," she wrote.
"This will be the last time we do this and we didn't think we'd get this time around so I'm making the most of it all."
Stacey, who shot to fame on the X Factor in 2009, revealed in June that she was pregnant after a miscarriage ordeal.
She has a two-year-old son Rex with Joe and older sons Zach, 13, and Leighton, nine.
