Alexa and Carlos PenaVega preparing for so many nights with the newest member of the family.

Both stars opened their personal Instagram accounts on Monday, May 10th to announce the birth of their daughter Rio by sharing the same precious photo of the couple holding the newborn’s hand. In their message, the couple living in Hawaii who also share sons ocean, 4 and Kingston, 22 months, said her little girl had arrived earlier than expected and is currently resting in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

“SO … we’ve been MIA for the past few days,” the 32-year-old sleepover actress said of her post. Let’s just say we’ve learned once again that God is always in control. You may have a PLAN for your life, but all that really matters is HIS plan. Little Rio couldn’t wait to come out and be with her Brothers to play! Mom feels fine and baby kicks serious prey in the intensive care unit. “

Alexa, best known for her starring role on the Spy Kids franchise, continued, “We pray that we can all be home together very soon! What a surge of emotions. Much love and thanks to all the nurses, doctors of Maui after Oahu – the little that Rio brought safely into this world. “
