Welcoming baby Ava Noëlle to the Nightingale-Dixon family, she added: "The four of us are home and in our cosy bubble of sleepless nights and endless cuddles."
Shortly after announcing her pregnancy earlier this year, Anna told OK! that the news of a new baby felt like "divine timing".
"After everything we've been through over the past year with the pandemic, it just sort of feels like divine timing to be pregnant," she said. "I'm honestly just super grateful and it feels like the best time for us as a family."

Before her exit as Andrea Tate at the hands of evil serial killer Meena Jutla back in October, Anna opened up about the practicalities of filming while pregnant.
"It's not going to be part of my character's journey, so we have to hide [my bump]," she explained. "Some days you can really see it and some days you can't. So there's been a lot of me sitting at tables or carrying a well placed bag or clipboard!"
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
