Melanie took to Twitter mere hours after her baby girl was born. She tweeted, "Finally our baby arrives, Stephen nearly passed out, Phoenix screamed, I laughed so hard the baby popped out!!! She is just sooo amazing!!" Her former Spice Girls bandmates were quick to tweet their congrats. Emma Bunton tweeted, "Yeah!!! Well done Mummy! Lots of love. Xxx" Melanie Chrisholm - Mel C - wrote, "So so happy for my dear friend @OfficialMelB and @stephenthinks1 another girl #girlpower woo hoo! Congratulations x x x"

Mel C's tweet

 Melanie Brown also tweeted to thank for all the well wishes and later to declare her love to her husband. First she wrote, "I wanna thank you ALL for your beautiful well wishes, it means a lot to me, you guys are the best, I am SOOOOOO blessed my heart is melting!!" and "I didn't think it was possible but I love you even MORE now honey, we have a truly amazing family xxxx"

The news of the birth of Melanie and Stephen's daughter - name, weight and height currently unknown - comes after Melanie said that "I've tried everything, I've tried the hot food, the running, the sex, the violence, I've tried it all. It just seems to be stuck and hibernating in there getting bigger and bigger, so it's coming out this week for sure." That most certainly turned out to be true.

Congrats to the Brown-Belafonte family.

UPDATE: Mel and Stephen have named their daughter Madison Brown Belafonte.

Emma, also mom to 3-year old son Beau with fiancé Jade Jones, adds, "We've been swapping bits of advice and photos and sharing our excitement." The bond between the Spice Girls has grown stronger, now that they're all mothers. "The first bouquets through the door were from Victoria, Geri, and Mel C. They came with little notes and that is always special to me, to get those from the girls. The relationship we girls have will always be special. Now our kids are friends too and as they grow, it will be wonderful to watch them all and the different stages in their lives."

Emma, who now is a judge in the British tv show Dancing on Ice, and Jade Jones, 32, announced last January that they got engaged, having been together for 11 years already.
