It's a girl! Sally Obermeder has welcomed her second daughter Elyssa Rose, after the TV host had the newborn via a surrogate in the U.S

While holding the baby close to her chest, Sally displayed a proud smile as she glued her eyes on her newborn daughter.

The Daily Edition host arrived in the US state of Milwaukee last week with her five-year-old daughter Annabelle as they counted down the days until the baby's arrival.

Sally's Channel Seven colleague Larry Emdur was quick to send his well wishes to the new family-of-four, writing on Instagram:' Wooooooooooohooooooo...so much love .. xxxxxxxx.'

News reader Natalie Barr added: 'Huge congrats Sal!!!! Such an amazingly emotional ride you have all been on. Sending love and best wishes. Beautiful name. Nat.'

On Saturday, Sally took to Instagram to share a special moment, seemingly inside the obstetrician's office, as Annabelle met with her then-unborn sibling.

The published author chose to use a surrogate mother for her second pregnancy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer the day before giving birth to Annabelle in 2011. 

Though extensive treatment, including 16 rounds of chemotherapy put her in remission, doctors warned her becoming pregnant again would be incredibly dangerous for her health, reported Woman's Day.

She and her husband Marcus first met Rachel, from Wisconsin, in 2014 and the already mother-of-three agreed to carry her child for no financial gain.  

Newborn Elyssa is something Sally feels she could never truly repay the American woman for.

'How do you even repay someone, like a bottle of perfume just doesn't cut it. The gift, I mean, it is priceless,' she gushed during an interview with Sunday Night.

'How amazing that there are people like Rachel in this world, like a woman from the other side of the world who I don't even know who would do this for me?'
