"In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne," she wrote in the caption of the post. "She's the best birthday present I could've ever imagined."

"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life," she added. "I'm so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!"

In her post, Kaling shared a sweet photo of her other two kids, Katherine and Spencer, snuggling with Anne on a blanket in the grass.

She also shared a photo of herself in a floral dress, holding her baby bump. The third image she shared included a snapshot from her hotel room with Katherine and Spencer on her hospital bed with her, perhaps before giving birth to Anne.
