Pippa Middleton just gave birth and is now a mother of two.

Pippa, the younger sister of Kate Middleton, welcomed a baby girl with her husband James Matthews, reports People.

Pippa welcomed Grace Elizabeth Jane on March 15 at around 4:22 a.m. The new bundle of joy weighs 6lbs and 7oz, and a family source says the mother and baby are doing very well.

“She’s perfect, everyone is overjoyed at such a happy arrival,” the source added.

The new bundle of joy also has a special connection to the Duchess of Cambridge because she shares a middle name with her aunt. Kate Middleton was born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton.

The name is also a nod to Queen Elizabeth.

Pippa and her husband welcomed their first child in Oct. 2018. They tied the knot in May of 2017 at St. Mark’s Church in Englefield.

As for her firstborn, Arthur, Pippa followed in her sister’s footsteps by giving birth to her son in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital. This is the same hospital that Prince William and Kate welcomed all three of their children.

The new bundle of joy is Carole and Michael Middleton's fifth grandchild and a little cousin for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

According to People, Pippa is staying active through her pregnancies, as she previously acknowledged how she managed to keep up with fitness during her first pregnancy. Her son, Arthur, is following in her fitness journey footsteps by attending a baby gym.

"Now that Arthur is 11 months old and more mobile, I have been trying to come up with different activities to do with him," she wrote in a September 2019 article.

"I needed to find something more than just park walks in the pram. Our local baby gym has been a saving grace. It's a big space full of fun, soft objects, playmats, stairs, balls, swings, mini trampolines and more to stimulate and physically engage babies and toddlers," she added.
