It seemed only yesterday when the celebrity mom Bianca Gonzalez-Intal announced that she and husband, pro basketball player JC Intal are expecting their second child. Now, it seems their new little angel has arrived!
Based on the photo she posted on her Instagram Stories, Bianca has announced the birth of her second baby. She posted a photo of a hospital wristband attached to hers. It partly said: "Intal, Girl of Bianca...Gonzalez." It had the date, October 29, 2018, and the name of a doctor plus Bianca's caption, "Thank you, Lord." She also tagged her husband, JC Intal, who has yet to announce the birth of their second child on his social media.
The couple already decided on the name beforehand: Carmen. Her birth came just six days after big sister Lucia celebrated her third birthday.
JC shared his wife's Instagram stories. He also just tweeted, "Thank you, Lord!" with the praying and hearts emoji and the hastags #102918 #2 that reflect their baby number two's birthday.
Thank you, Lord! 🙠💕 #102918 #2

A few hours after, the new parents both announced their second child's birth on Instagram. "This little one decided to come out today. Our daughter, Carmen Eliana Gonzalez Intal," wrote Bianca as a caption for a photo of the little girl's hospital bracelet. "Say hello to our Carmen Eliana. Ate Lucia can't wait to see you, my love!" JC wrote in his caption for the same photo.

The couple first shared they were expecting a new addition to their family in May this year. They have wanted to do so since late in 2017 after their daughter, Lucia, turned age two. She just celebrated her third birthday in October.
Bianca reveals that this pregnancy is a lot different than when she was carrying Lucia in her womb. "With my first pregnancy, talagang parang lumalaki lang ang tyan ko. It was such a breeze."
This one, however, has been the exact opposite, as she suffered from severe all-day morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) during the first four months of her second pregnancy.
Thankfully, the symptoms lessened when she entered her second trimester and was able to start exercising and practicing prenatal yoga, which she also did during her first pregnancy.

The 35-year-old millennial mom has been actively sharing on social media about her motherhood and parenting journey. Bianca has spoken about yaya drama, low milk supply, the pressures brought about by being a mom, and more!
She has been open and candid about the demands of motherhood. "Unlike some other mothers na parang second nature ang motherhood, ako hindi talaga. Career woman ako. Parang struggle ko talaga ang maging mommy," she said in a previous interview with Pep.ph.
"Deep inside, I am slightly panicking because I'm admittedly not emotionally or mentally ready for the sleepless nights and exhaustion all over again, and this time balancing taking care of a toddler too," Bianca wrote on Instagram just as she hit 35 weeks.
But motherhood the second time around for Bianca should feel a bit familiar. "Hindi ka na kasing praning ng first kasi medyo alam mo na, hindi ka na yung nagwo-worry about every little thing. Nagwo-worry ka pa rin pero iba pa rin yung sa una," she shared.
Congratulations, Bianca, JC, and Ate Lucia!
