After several heartbreaking tries, Odette Annable welcomed a baby on October 13 with her husband Dave Annable.
“Please give a warm welcome to the little lady that has completed our family and stolen all of our hearts,” the actress captioned her daughter Andersen’s Instagram debut Monday. “You came into this world … fast and furious in about 2 hours door to door,” she continued. “Drowning in your sweetness and soaking up every bit of this beautiful time in our lives.”
Dave also posted hospital pictures and wrote, “The next chapter has begun and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
Odette, 37, has suffered three pregnancy losses in the past before she finally shared the wonderful news in May that she was expecting a healthy baby.
“It’s been a very long journey to get here, but we are here and we are thrilled and couldn’t be more grateful,” Odette captioned the reveal photo. “A new chapter begins. A very special Mother’s Day indeed.”
Odette and Dave, 42, told their 7-year old daughter, Charlie, that she would be a big sister.
Little Charlie hugged her parents and exclaimed, “Now I get my own baby!”
Dave shared the same footage, writing, “I guess it’s not traditional to give your kid a gift on Mother’s Day. *Exceptions do apply. What a beautiful way to celebrate @odetteannable, the soon to be mama of two. We certainly know Charlie is excited.”
While celebrating Father’s Day in June, Dave posted a picture of Charlie holding a sonogram shot with a smile.
“There is no Father’s Day gift that can touch this feeling,” the actor captioned the sweet snap.
Dave and Odette, who separated in 2019 and reconciled within a year, became parents in 2015. Odette went on to suffer two miscarriages after Charlie’s birth and a third miscarriage last year.
“I was 15 weeks pregnant when this photo was taken back in December and today would have been your due date,” she wrote alongside throwback baby bump shots in June 2021. “There was another plan and our baby is no longer with us.”
