MANILA, Philippines — Andi Eigenmann on Saturday shared the first picture of her second child days after she gave birth on Instagram.

The actress posted a snap on social media showing her sleeping tot wrapped in pink baby blanket with white baby hat.

Andi's caption read: "On the 23rd day of July 2019, at 1:27PM, we met the newest member of our tribe. We decided to call her, Keliana Alohi Eigenmann Alipayo, but you may call her Lilo." 

Netizens were amused of Andi's second child, who appeared to have been named after a Disney character who loves to go on surfing adventures. Lilo is her daughter with partner, champion surfer Philmar Alipayo.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Andi said she gave birth via C-section, the same way she delivered Ellie, her first child, with Jake Ejercito.

Before giving birth, Andi showed her 39th week photo and shared that she wished to deliver her baby via vaginal birth after cesarean, but her doctor advised against this.

“Having gone through this process before didn’t make anything easier or less scary (Specially because this was not how I had thought my second birth story would be),” she said. 

“But with these two (+ the rest of my fam) by my side through everything, it was easier to trust that everything will be alright. True enough, birth is beautiful no matter how it happens. I couldn’t be any more grateful that our baby girl came out healthy and safe,” she added. 

Andi announced her pregnancy in February. 

Last month, Andi's viral photos drew flak from a lot of social media users for surfing while at the peak of pregnancy. 

“My OB is so supportive about it. Kasi ‘yung pagkakamali natin kapag buntis, hindi tayo gumagalaw kasi akala natin may mangyayari. Pero para sa akin, if hindi naman sensitive yung pregnancy mo, dapat ka mag-exercise,” she said in an interview with ABS-CBN morning show “Magandang Buhay.”
