After a bit of a false alarm last week when it was believed that Jennifer Garner was being admitted to the hospital to give birth to her second child only to learn that she was in and out and on the streets of Beverly Hills, CA shopping with her firstborn child Violet later the same day … comes news today that Jen finally gave birth to baby #2 here in SoCal last night. Jen and hubby Ben Affleck welcomed their second daughter into the world yesterday afternoon:

Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck have welcomed their second daughter, PEOPLE confirms exclusively. The actress’s rep says: “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.” The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. No other details were immediately available. Garner and Affleck, both 36, are also parents to daughter Violet, 3 … Former Alias costar and close friend Victor Garber says the actress needs no help in the mommy department. “It’s her second child,” Garber told PEOPLE. “She knows what to do. She’s probably the best mother I’ve ever witnessed.”

Aww, much love and congrats to the happy family. I suspect that the child has been named but the public has not been made privy to that information just yet, prolly so that the extended family can be notified first. I’m sure we’ll be hearing the name shortly … considering that they named their firstborn daughter Violet, I wouldn’t be surprised if they followed the flower theme with this new baby. I do hope, tho, that the couple stay away from any fug flower names like Tulip … which is not only kinda terrible but it’s already been done in Hollywood. Perhaps Begonia or Bougainvillea? Those are lovely flower names, yes? Whatever the child is named, I wish she and the entire Garner-Affleck family a long and very happy life together. Congrats again!!
