Busy Philipps is a mom again!

The Cougar Town star has welcomed a baby girl with husband Marc Silverstein, their second daughter together. 

Her rep exclusively confirms to E! News that the child was born Tuesday, weighing 8 1/2 pounds, and everyone is happy and healthy.

"So this happened..." Philipps also tweeted Wednesday along with a pic of herself cradling their newborn.

The wee lass joins 4 1/2-year-old sister Birdie Leigh Philipps in the family abode.

In March, Philipps told E! News that her second pregnancy hadn't been "so relaxing," and yet was "harder and easier" than her first at the same time.

"It's going faster because I have my kid and work and all kinds of things," the 34-year-old actress said. Not to mention, she added, "I gave everything away from my last pregnancy. Everything from my maternity clothes, to the crib, the changing table—all gone. So I have to start over."

She then revealed in April that they were expecting another girl (so double-bummer on not keeping Birdie's old gear).

"My daughter is super-excited," Philipps told Huffington Post. "She's actually incredibly helpful...So I think for right now it's OK, but we'll see what happens when the actual baby comes. I'm planning for that moment [when Birdie asks], 'And when does she go back?' I know that will happen.'"
