The former pop singer announced she was expecting in September, over a year after saying she was done having kids.

“This little baby girl will make us a family of five,” she exclaimed. “We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life.”
Simpson didn’t have the easiest pregnancy the third time around, which she documented on social media. Earlier this month, she returned home after spending a week in the hospital for bronchitis, her fourth time in two months.
“Coughing with Birdie has been a crazy painful journey,” she exclaimed. “I am slowly getting healthier every day. Baby girl was monitored and is doing amazing!”
