"I’ve been staying at the hospital and hanging out with her, and then

Meet the Barkers’ New Daughter
Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and his wife, actress Shanna Moakler,
both 30, welcomed their second child together, on Christmas Eve, PEOPLE
has confirmed.
The baby girl, Alabama Luella Barker, was born at 12:22 p.m. and weighed in a 7 lbs., 1oz.
In May, when news of the pregnancy was first announced, Barker
said: "Hopefully it will be Christmas Eve. I’m hoping for a girl." He
got his wish.
The couple, stars of the MTV reality show Meet the Barkers, have a 2-year-old son, Landon. Moakler also has a 6-year-old daughter, Atiana, with her ex-fiancé Oscar De La Hoya.
After becoming engaged in 2003 at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion,
Barker and Moakler married in high gothic style before 250 guests on
Halloween Eve 2004 at Santa Barbara’s Bacara Resort & Spa, PEOPLE
reported.
The ceremony and reception were inspired by their favorite film, Tim
Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
"I had to try to think of something funny that she’s done so I didn’t
completely lose it," said Barker, whose groomsmen included bandmates
Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge.
At the event, baby Landon wore mini versions of his dad’s tux
and Mohawk. Said Moakler of her own wedding: "Even though it was
different and wild, it was really upscale and romantic."
