Country singer Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Atkins, welcomed their second daughter Saturday, People reported.
"Our baby girl is here," Atkins said on Instagram Sunday. "Sweet Ada James Akins came into the world at 10:28 last night after almost 36 hours of labor (only Jesus got me through that-& she is sooo worth it). She weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces and is so stinking cute I just can't take it! We are all doing well now, just resting. Thank y'all for your prayers-she is a miracle and God is so good. Thomas Rhett and I are so I love with her."
Ada joins sister Willa Gray, who Atkins said is “so excited to finally have a baby sister.”
