Television star Sarah Drew and her husband Peter Lanfer have welcomed their second child together, a baby girl.
A representative confirmed the news to Us Weekly. In a statement, the couple said: “We are thrilled to welcome baby Hannah Mali Rose to our family.
“Although we kept her gender a surprise until her birthday, Micah somehow knew she’d be a girl from the moment we told him we were pregnant. He is over the moon to be big brother to sweet Hannah.”
Sarah and Peter have welcomed their second child together.
The little one arrived three and a half weeks early and weighed 6lbs 14oz. She joins big brother Micah Emmanuel (2).
Sarah is best known for her role in medical drama Grey’s Anatomy but she has also appeared in Everwood and Mad Men.
The actress took to Twitter, as she did to announce her pregnancy, to explain the reasons behind her daughter’s name.
I’ve always loved the name “Hannah”. It means “grace” or “favor” and Hannah was also a Biblical figure who had tremendous faith in God.

There is a beautiful red bird named the Mali Firefinch for our redheaded early bird. She came 3.5 weeks early with a full head of red hair.

In Thailand, Mali is the word for the jasmine flower. The scent of the jasmine flower has the ability to fill a room with sweetness.

We chose Rose because it is one of the few flowers that blooms in December and we liked the way the names sounded together.
