When Jennifer Garner seems so good at replicating her gorgeous self in miniature, you can’t really complain about her continuing to populate the world with mini-mes.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have officially confirmed the news they are expecting a third baby. A source told UsMagazine.com that Garner has always wanted to had three kids. “That was her plan all along.”

The couple did not announce how far along pregnant Jennifer Garner is, but the estimate based on photos is about five months. Garner told UsWeekly in April that balancing work and mommyhood requires “a great nanny and you have to have a supportive husband.”

“We figure it out day by day. It’s always messy, and it’s never as glamorous as people think it is,” Garner said, “but we get through, and as long as the kids are happy, it’s all good.”

The actress’s rep says: “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck gave birth to a healthy baby girl.” The baby was born Tuesday in Los Angeles. Just days before giving birth, Garner was spotted with Violet at the Farmer’s Market in Pacific Palisades and grabbing a decaf coffee at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica with a girlfriend.

Jennifer’s former Alias costar and close friend Victor Garber says the actress needs no help in the mommy department. He told People Magazine that “It’s her second child. She knows what to do. She’s probably the best mother I’ve ever witnessed.”

Jennifer has kept a lower profile in Hollywood since becoming a mother, and has focused her time on her family. She and Ben were quite sensible in naming their first child, managing to avoid Hollywood’s horrid trend of crazy baby names…who’s latest contributor was Rebecca Romijn’s names for her twins a few days ago: Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. Congratulations to Jennifer, Ben and Violet…PLEASE give that little girl a normal name!
