Mowry-Hardrict announced her pregnancy in November with a cute Instagram post featuring her husband and son kissing her bare belly, captioning the image with a simple collection of red heart emojis.

The actress and lifestyle guru revealed her baby’s sex on her YouTube Channel Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix in January, biting into a cake pop containing a pink center that she made herself.

“We’re having a girl!” Mowry-Hardrict said in the baking-tutorial video. “Cree is going to have a baby sister. We are so excited.”

Mowry-Hardrict sported a variety of enviable outfits during her pregnancy. “I was a fashionista before — I’m gonna still be one while I’m pregnant,” she told PEOPLE in January, “I’m not gonna force myself into pregnancy pants!”

The Sister, Sister actress also opened up about the couple’s struggle to have another baby, discussing her battles with infertility and endometriosis before conceiving her daughter.

“I didn’t think I’d be able to have a second child, and it’s been over seven years since my first pregnancy,” said Mowry-Hardrict. “I put it off, but I did want to have another child.”

He added, “I’ll give you the initial: It’s a C. So that’s what it’s going to be.”

“And the middle name will be a T for my name, Tia,” explained Mowry-Hardrict. “So it’s C.T.H.”
