I’m bursting with joy to tell you that our baby girl, Adriana, arrived Sunday September 21st at 1:34pm, weighing 7 pounds and 20 inches in length. She decided to arrive 1 day before her due date – fooling her mama entirely because by that point I was convinced she was coming a week late. Not long after I published my 39 week post on Saturday, I started going into early labour (I just didn’t know that’s what it was at the time!).
I never knew life could be so crazy happy (or crazy challenging, for that matter). It’s like we’ve known her all our lives. I’m not normally a person who relaxes a great deal, but she’s shown me how to live in the moment and enjoy the right now. I feel like my life has a new sense of meaning and purpose and I’m really excited to get to know her a bit more every day. One thing is for sure, she has a great dad and looks so much like him. I can’t get over the hilarious facial expressions she makes. We have laughed so much in the 4 short days we’ve known her.
Ok, Adriana says it’s feeding time once again! Back to it.
ps – I’m thinking about sharing our birth story on here, so let me know if that is something you’d be interested in.
Thank you for all your love and support!!

I am incredibly overcome with happiness for you both and your new little one. She looks so healthy and absolutely glows. Seeing these two photos… so sweet. Thank you for sharing your pregnancy journey with us. I, for one, would love to hear her birth story :) Congratulations again, and many blessings to your family.
P.S. please let us know how Sketchie reacts to Adriana
Thank you Sonia!
Sketchie was pretty terrified of her at first. Heh. He kept his distance and was on edge when she’d cry. But he seems to be warming up to her the past couple days as he’s now always in the same room as us and sleeps in the room again. But not sure after last night as we only slept 3 hours and he’s drained today, hah. I’m sure it’ll take time!
I just love Sonia’s comment and your response! I’ve been a long-time reader and it really brightened my day to see that photo of you and Adriana in your instagram feed. It’s amazing how much love can be conveyed through a photograph. There’s no way Sketchie will be able to resist falling in love with Adriana for long!
Hi! In my experience, (I have 6 animals at home, all adopted at different times) animal adjustment is faster when you help the animal along with a bit of psychology lol. I try to make my animals feel really rewarded each time they make a small step towards accepting the new change or addition to the family. They don’t know what the small human or other animal is – to them it’s just a threat, so if you’re there as the mommy to exaggerate with the “it’s okay!” and “gooddddd kitty” in my experience the adjustment period shortens, as the animal feels more comfortable and like his needs will still be met even though there’s a new attention-seeking creature in the house. He’s used to getting all the love for himself :)
Dear Glowing Family, congratulations on your newest heaven-sent member! Adriana looks uncannily like her father. So happy for you all. Such a kick to read that hours after you posted your 39 weeks story that pre-labour began–it is hard to know what it is the first time. If you are nursing I hope you find some nursing tops asap, and that the first-timer process goes smoothly for you. La Leche League’s forum got me through some rough first months of nursing, and the LLLadies there are tops! KellyMom is also an indispensable source of reassurance (Got Milk? and other top posts). Hope when things settle down you share what you want to share. :) Congratulations again.
I would LOVE to hear your birth story! Congratulations, she’s beautiful! Glad you’re all happy and healthy. (:
I would love to hear birth story as well . . . being the doula that I am :).
Congrats on the new addition to the family! Such beautiful family photos :)
Congratulations. She is so beautiful and you both look so happy and peaceful! Thank you for sharing your journey, it has been fascinating! I would love to hear your birth story.
Enjoy this new journey together.
Congratulations! She’s beautiful. Would love to hear the birth story! (I’m 28.5 weeks along with my first…)
I am so happy for you!!! She is so sweet!! Enjoy every minute of parenthood. It is the most important job in the world. I would love to hear the birth story.
Hi Angela, I’ve been following your blog for about a year and never commented before, but I just felt compelled to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS on having your beautiful baby girl! She’s a stunner, and Adriana is such a gorgeous name :) You and Eric are going to be awesome parents. Good luck, and much love from the UK :D xx
Congratulations guys! She is so beautiful and you look like such a happy family. Would love to heae your birth story, I’m expecting my third but still cant get enough of that stuff! :)
Congratulations and welcome, beautiful little Adriana! I LOVE the name!!!
I have been following your blog and especially your baby posts from Austria – and love(d) every bit of it.
Please do share your birth story – but first, take some rest and settle into your new life. As a mom of two I know this may take some time. Just in case it’s not all going as smoothly as you wished or imagined: You are not alone :) Becoming a mum is a huge change in a woman’s life. So many new things to learn, so many new responsibilities and tasks, those intense hormonal changes…it can be overwhelming. My only advice: Be kind with yourself and don’t let anything or anyone mess with your instincts – you are Adriana’s mom and YOU are the one who knows best :)
Lots and lots of love and all best wishes!!

Oh She’s Glow-rious!!! What an absolute lil doll. Congrats and enjoy every moment…they continue to keep you guessing, well after their due date ;)
Congratulations! She’s absolutely precious. :)
P.S: I would love to read your birth story. :)
She’s SO pretty!!! So happy baby and mommy are doing well! Yes, I would LOVE to hear your birth story!
Dear Angela,
Congratulation on the birth of your precious little bundle! I wish you and your family all the happiness in the world.
We have recently (2 month) started using your cookbook as a base for our home cooking. My husband who until now firmly believed he could not go a day without meat, recently declared: “Who would have thought that a book could bring so much joy to our life.”
Thank you for the delicious recipes and for helping me stir my husband towards healthier eating habits. Looking forward to your posts:)
That’s so sweet, thank you so much for your support!
Congratulations!!! Love her name and she is so beautiful! Would love to hear your birth story – of course!
I would love to hear your birth story, Ange (and see more pics!)! I think all women should share their amazing story. I am so happy for you and Eric! She is so stinking cute!!!!!!!!
What a great picture of the three of you! xo
Congratulations! I would love to hear how Adriana came into the world! I After my daughter was born, I wanted to tell everyone my birth story, even if they didn’t want to hear it..lol.. (my single brothers.) I would be thrilled to hear about yours!
Congratulations! She is too beautiful for words. Would love to hear your birth story! Thrilled for you and Eric. Sleep deprivation with a newborn is no joke, but it is only temporary (thank God). Wishing you and your little family all the best.
Another vote for the birth story of baby Adriana! She’s absolutely adorable–I can see why you’re so thrilled with her arrival! Congrats to all of you :)
Congratulations! She’s so beautiful. You are positively glowing, too!
I love reading birth stories!
Congratulations Angela and Eric!!! I felt the same way when I had my children and I am so happy for you both. Adrian look absolutely bueatiful and those eyes!!! :o)
Yes, I would love to hear your birth story, please do share it!!!
Many many congratulations to both of you! Adrianna is beautiful! May God Bless her!!
Congrats to you and Eric!! I would love to hear about your birth experience, as I am 34 weeks today and getting ready to meet my little one very soon as well!
She looks very wise. I am so glad the world has an amazing new human being!
Wish you all the best, Franziska
Congratulations! You guys look great! Adriana is gorgeous! Of course, I would love to hear your birth story! Your freezer meals will certainly help now! Try o sleep when she sleeps! :)
So precious! Congratulations to you and Eric. I love reading birth stories.
I would love to hear your birth story. I am so very happy for you.
I love your blog and I look forward to reading your baby page every week!! I hope your baby blog does not stop here. My husband and I are loosely trying to have a baby (I say loosely because I don’t want to make it a job) and your blog is so encouraging. I tear up almost every time because it is just full of sweetness and love for baby Adriana. I would love to hear all about your birthing story, please do share.
Sending love to the little bundle of joy!
Congratulations; what a beautiful family!
Of course we want to hear the story! So happy for your little family. Adriana is absolutely beautiful!
Your sweet baby and happy smile brought such joy to my day! Congratulations! Enjoy every minute of that newborn yumminess!
Congratulations, Angela! I would love to hear about your birth story and how you decided on Adriana’s name (it’s my favorite name, if I ever have a baby girl :)!).
PS. How is Sketchie doing, health-wise? <3
Congratulations Angela and Eric! I’m so happy for you both! Adriana is beautiful and I’m so happy you’re enjoying parenthood so much already.
P.S. I’d love to hear your birth story!
Congratulations, she looks perfect! This is partly the result of a very healthy mama, I am sure!
She’s just beautiful. I would love to hear your birth story! I like sharing mine too. I hope you’re getting an hour or two of sleep here and there. Those first few weeks (months) are tough.
My little guy was born a year ago on 9/16, it’s a wonderful time of year for a baby!
Congratulations Angela & Eric. She is absolutely beautiful….so is her name. Looks just like her daddy. I would really enjoy reading her birth story! Since we are expecting our little one to debut end of November/first week of December, I’ve started reading ALL the birth stories I can.
Congratulations again and hope you are taking advantage of all of your freezer meals. You are absolutely glowing, mama!
Congrats Angela and Eric – she is lovely. She looks cheeky and so alert already – I bet she is going to be a character! Would love to hear your birth story – I always find them so interesting to read having all that ahead of me!. Congrats again.
ps am eagerly awaiting the arrival of your cookbook. I have been in a food rut so am looking forward to trying out some new dishes.
Congratulations Angela and Eric!!!!! There is nothing better in the world! Just want to say thank you for all your great recipes and posts. My family loves everything you make (and now I make). Pretty much every meal in our house is an “Oh She Glows” meal!! Thank you for your New York City post too. My husband and I had a great date night due to your restaurant recommendations!
Congratulations Angela and Eric! She is so beautiful. You have handled your pregnancy and birth with such grace and are a true inspiration in this world of instant updates and connectedness. I’m so glad you two were able to take time away and just be with your baby.
I’d love to hear your birth story. I don’t have children but there’s a huge baby boom amongst my friends and I love hearing these stories, especially since every single one ends with the words: every thing I went through in the last 10 months (or longer!), I would go through a million times again just to have my baby.
Congratulations again! Everybody looks happy and healthy. It’s nice to have a half body shot of Eric. I mean the man does have some nice hands but it was definitely great to see his smiling and smitten face. Endless love is written there. Check in when you can!
You know we’d love to read your birth story! Congratulations. She’s absolutely gorgeous!
Congratulations! She looks absolutely beautiful. I was wondering if you were completely vegan for your entire pregnancy? I’d love to hear your birth story. x
So, so, so cute! Congratulations!
Congratulations Angela! She is very cute :) You are looking fab as well! I was such a mess at 3 days after giving birth..you seem to be doing so well! I would love to hear the birth story, more so because I have been reading all the prego updates here :) Our little guy turned 1 last week, so all i can say is welcome to parenting! It is incredibly difficult, but incredibly fun!
Congratulations!!! She’s beautiful!!! Please share your birth story!!! We’d all love to hear it!!
Congratulations!! She’s beautiful:)
I love hearing birth stories! Bring it on!
What a beauty!!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!!!! Yes please post your labor story, for all the mommas to be out there!!! :o) Congratulations!
Warmest congratulations! She is beautiful. Your birth story is yours to share however you would like, to whatever extent you wish. I am not big into publishing these things online, as it involves a small human who doesn’t yet have a choice what the world reads about her, but you may have a different sense of the online community. In any event, writing out the story while it is still fresh, is a wonderful way to process things, and also to recall and rejoice as time passes.
Congratulations to you both on the arrival of your precious daughter. She is absolutely adorable
Congrats!! I was SO thrilled to see the photo pop up on instagram the other day…
I started following ‘ohsheglows’ around summer last year- you’re blog is what the made me finally take the plunge into vegan-ism. I live in Santa Cruz, CA- it’s not a totally uncommon thing around here! Nutritional yeast, is in every store :)
It’s be great to get to know your blog, and then see this momentous progression in your lives!
A thousands best wishes to you & your growing family!! Please do spill the beans on the birth story!
Would love to hear the birth story!! Don’t leave us in the dark. Every one is a miracle. :)
Congratulations! She’s adorable :)
Would love to hear your birth story! You look so rested and relaxed in the photos, I’m hoping that means that everything went very smoothly for you.
Congrats to you and Eric! Adriana is beautiful and I love the name. :) I love the little family photo of you 3. Take care of yourself and don’t do anything else for the next little while other than feeding, changing and bonding with your baby. Let your hubby, family & friends help you with the rest. :) Yes, I would also love to hear your birth story!
Your whole family is glowing. What a sweet, sweet little face she has. And I love the name. So pretty and unusual, while still being familiar. I know another Adriana with a different spelling and she’s lovely. :)
So glad to hear you are well! Yes, I’d love to hear the birth story, too.
She is perfect! What a beautiful family. Congratulations!
Wow! Congrats!! She’s still a summer baby-by one day! She looks truly precious, happy and healthy.
This makes me think of a saying I heard recently – the last babies of summer are born optimists, because while everyone else is savouring the last of the long days, warm sun and ripe tomatoes (and everything else wonderful about summer), they will just be enjoying it for the first time! Congratulations, and I’d love to hear your birth story.
Congratulations on the safe arrival of your little lady. What wonderful news and so lovely to have been able to share your pregnancy journey with you.
Would love to hear about the birth.
Robyn xx
Oh congratulations!! She is absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful, exciting time for you both :) And yes, I’d love to hear the birth story too :)

I checked OSG today after not seeing a post for a while…and how happy I was to see your baby girl has entered the world! Congratulations Angela and Eric, what a beautiful addition to your lovely family. Adriana is a gorgeous name!
Enjoy the time that she’s just a wee one, as everyone says they grow up so fast. Looking forward to some post-partum posts!!
I’m so happy for you and Eric! Adriana is such a beautiful name, and she is such a cutie. Enjoy those baby snuggles!
Also – UM, how do you look so good after just having a baby? Tell me all your secrets!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! Adriana – what a lovely baby girl name!
Oh she is so beautiful, and what a pretty name. Congratulations! I am a nurse and love reading birth stories, I wrote my three and I’m so glad I did while all the details were fresh.
Congratulations!! And, yes, please share your birth story :). It’s been 10 1/2 years since I gave birth to my youngest son and I still love to tell his birth story (and hear other’s)!
Oh my! She is so adorable! Congratulations you guys will make great parents. Xo
Oh joy! Congratulations, Adriana is beautiful. Yes, tell us your birth story…it’s blog front page news!
Congratulations to you both… and I LOVE the name, it’s absolutely perfect! You look so cute as a family too. I’m sure you’ll be (are) great parents!
Big, big, big congratulations to you both! You look so beautiful and fresh, it’s hard to believe you’re a mom to a newborn which equals sleepless nights. Please share your birth story!!!
Congratulations! She is perfect and you and Eric look so content! What does Sketchie think of his little sister?
Loooong-time lurker/recipe user, and first time commenter.
Really want to say major congrats – this is so wonderful! Would love to hear your birth story, absolutely!
And also – I can’t believe you had a baby 4 days ago! You look so gorgeous and put-together, it’s unbelievable (in a good way!). So very excited for you guys!!
Congratulations Angela!!! She’s beautiful! I’m a long time reader and loved reading about your pregnancy journey!! Thank you for sharing and would definitely like to hear your birth story! I love reading your posts and can’t wait to see your future family recipes!!! Although my daughter already eats many of the dishes from your cookbook! Best Wishes!!
Hurray! Congratulations Angela and Eric! What a beautiful girl you have. Sending love and many blessings. So happy for you and can’t wait for many more pics and details to come. Would love to hear about your birth story! All the best
Congratulations, Angela!! She is such a beautiful little girl, and we are all so happy for you and your husband. I know we would love to read your story if you want to share it.
She’s beautiful! Congratulations! I’ve been a huge fan of your blog for years & have read your whole pregnancy journey. I would LOVE to hear your birth story. You are certainly glowing! :-)
Wow congrats Angela….I have been watching this space everyday hoping to see little ohsheglows -:)))… She is such a cutie pie and I love her name…..I would love to read your birth story…..please do share….
Congrats Angela!!! Adriana is a beautiful name and she’s a beautiful girl. I’ve been obsessively checking the blog ever since seeing your post on Instagram, and I would love to hear the birth story if you’re willing to share!
Oh my gosh I can’t believe she’s here! I’ve been so enjoying your weekly updates and I was so anxious to see her. She’s beautiful. I would absolutely love to read your birth story. You write so beautifully and honestly. Congratulations!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Would love to hear your birth story. Until then, soak in this precious time with your new little family! <3
Congrats, she is so special! Would love to hear your birth story! I’m 34 weeks myself and can’t get enough of your pregnancy/baby posts. Enjoy your new little bundle of joy! Makes me excited for our little girl to come soon as well.
Congrats Angela! Adriana is a beautiful baby, and you are still glowing! Does she have a middle name? What will her nickname be – I know you said that was something you were considering as you were thinking of names. Are you sharing the other name contenders? I love her name, and am curious on how you arrived on it!
I, too, would love to hear your birth story!
Enjoy those newborn snuggles!
She is so beautiful like her parents! Thanks for sharing, and BIG congratulations! Would love to hear the birth story xx
Oh she is BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations to you and your family. I’m pretty sure I can speak for all of your readers when I say we would love to hear your birth story. They’re weirdly addictive. The best advice I received when I became a mama: listen to your heart! It’s cheesy (or ‘cheezy’ for vegans ;) ) but true. No one knows your cherub like you and Daddy.
Lots of love and luck!!!
Yay, big congrats to you and Eric on your new arrival! I absolutely love the first picture, you look so happy and motherhood definitely suits you.
I’m a sucker for birth stories, so I’ll vote yes and I can’t wait to see the nursery “after” photos. All in due time though, just keep enjoying these moments with her and get plenty of rest! :)
She is adorable! Congratulations to you and Eric! So happy for you both! (She does look a lot like her dad, btw) :p
Congratulations to you and your husband, your baby girl is beautiful !!! Wish you and your family all kind of blessings!
I’ll chime in that i would love to hear your birth story! Congratulations on your precious baby girl :)
So happy to hear your little one arrived safe and sound. Absolutely would love to hear your birth story. I have a little granddaughter born Oct 4th 2013 and she is just the best. The birth of my children and grandchild have been the best experiences of my life. That said the first month is tough, it gets better hang in there.
Congratulations she’s beautiful. Yes would love to hear about the birth story, please share!
Congratulations, she is so beautiful (but with such good looking parents not a surprise)!
Would love to read your birth story, they are all so different. In the Blog world I have been so lucky to of read a number of them and I think it is the one of the special things about todays world that we get to share things with people all over the world. Enjoy these wonderful first weeks, they go so fast so make the most of it. Sandra
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. She is a beautiful girl. I would love to hear your birth story as everything you write has your open-hearted voice. Wishing you all the best!
Ditto to all the many comments above. What a lovely – and loving – family! And, yes, I’d be interested to hear your birth story.
Congratulations! Happy to hear that both of you are doing great! You are glowing with joy and happiness! And your daughter is adorable, wish her a healthy and happy life with her parents :)
So, so precious! When they open their tiny little mouths, newborns really remind me of baby birds. Congratulations to you both! Now you are a family of 4. I look forward to hearing more as the months go by.
Welcome Adriana!!! Congrats Angela and Eric. Beautiful baby girl ! Can’t wait for the birth story!
this. is. EVERYTHING.
xoxoxo
Congratulations!! Welcome to the world, Adriana!!
I agree wholeheartedly, Angela! Being in the presence of our first little newborn brings us wildly into the present moment like none other. Congratulations – she’s gorgeous. I love her little outfit on day 1!!!!!
I also really want to say thank you so much for sharing your life, pregnancy journey, family and now, beautiful daughter! And thank you so much for being an example of what an honest, humorous, capable, loving human being is! I truly love reading your stories, thoughts and recipe creations. Your work is so valuable to me.
With the exception of 3 recipes remaining – YAY!!! happy dance – you gave me the good fortune and pleasure to recreate every recipe from your cookbook, for me, my family and my neighbours (and many 5 x’s over – they’re sooo delicious!!!!!!). I had a fun idea to complete the book by the time you gave birth, hehe and you just beat me to it. Lol! Thank you so much Angela for helping to improve my well-being, my satisfaction to eat healthy and my love for the art and preparation of food. I’m forever grateful.
My very best to you and Eric as you enter this new dimension of life. The transformation into motherhood (and fatherhood, I’m sure) is, and always will be the biggest challenge and discovery. Our son was born Jan 2013 and was definitely a long awaited dream come true in my life.
I’m interested to hear about yours and Eric’s birth story, whenever you feel up to it. ;)

Congratulations! She is adorable and I hope all three of you are well.
Love your blog and I keep following it from Germany since a couple of year now. I am really happy for your little family =)
Congratulations with your beautiful girl! And please share your birth story! You’ve been an inspiration for us through your entire pregnancy, you can’t leave that part out now! ;) Looking forward to reading it here :)
Congrats on your new sweet face in the house :) Would love to read the birth story.
How beautiful and adorable! Love the name :) Congrats!
Congratulations! Adriana is a very cute baby :) I hope you and Eric are able to take the time to enjoy being a family while she’s soooo little and get used to being parents before returning to work/the blogging world. It must be an overwhelming, but special year for you, with first the cookbook (that I enjoy immensely, btw) and now becoming a mother.
On the sharing of the birthing story, I think that you should only do so if you are really comfortable with it being online. It’s probably much more personal than the pregancy updates. But this is really something that only you can decide.
Wishing all of you all the best!!
Congratulations to both of you!! She is so beautiful and adorable. Can’t wait to hear more about her, the birth and you and Eric. Enjoy the days with your beautiful daughter!
Congratulations Angela! She looks beautiful just like her mum. And dad looks happy and proud too. Enjoy this precious time!
Congratulations Angela! Your family looks perfect, and Adriana is a very lucky child, to have you as her parents. I wish you many happy days and calm nights <3
I would love to hear more about the birth and how she is growing every day (and making funny faces!). You and your words are a big inspiration for me, and I really hope, that soon I will be able to compare my pregnancy to your!
Lots of love to your family!
Congratulations and welcome to this world, little Adriana!
I am so happy for you – she is such a pretty baby – and what a gorgeous name!
Have fun, this will be THE most exciting journey of your lives. Oh, and don’t forget to also pay attention to her “brother” Sketchie. We do not want him to get jealous, now, do we? LOL
XOX
Stefanie
Congratulations! She is beautiful!
Congratulations! I would definitely love to hear your birth story, I am giving birth in December and finding that reading other people’s stories really helps make me feel calm and more prepared.
Congratulations!!!! She is beautiful, enjoy this special time there is nothing quite like it.
Congratulations on your baby girl!! And welcome to the world, Adriana! <3
Since I am 4 weeks away from my due date (and the little lady might make her appearance even earlier, due to a smaller uterus on my side) I would love to hear your birth story!! On the one hand I know that every birth story is different (so nothing can prepare me for my own), on the other hand reading every (different) birth story weirdly calms me down more instead of scaring me. I think every birth story simply is just such a wonderful story of life!
Congratulations on the beautiful new addition to your family! Everyone looks healthy and happy and that’s really lovely to see. I am 12 weeks pregnant, so I have to admit that my opinion is a little bias, but for what it’s worth I would absolutely LOVE to read your birth story!
What a beautiful baby girl! Congratulations to you and Eric on your new bundle of joy. As I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first (also a girl), I’ve really enjoyed following you along your pregnancy as you embark on this new motherhood journey. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you’ll share not only your birth story, but also continue the “baby blog” with other miscellaneous tips, special moments, as well as any “what not to do”.
Thanks again for sharing such a personal part of your life with us – and enjoy the precious moments…I know I can’t wait for my baby girl to arrive as well.
Angela, Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl. You are absolutely glowing and she is so precious. You captured some great photos of her looking alert. Enjoy these moments with her. I would love to read your birth story, if you feel like sharing it.
Oh congratulations! !!! I have been so excited for your birth!! Much love to you all!
(Would LOVE to read your birth story! )
I am so happy for you! Your baby is way too cute and makes me even more excited for my little girl arriving in March. I would love it if you shared your birth story!
Ahh so cute! She’s Eric’s little clone, ha. My daughter was my husbands little clone, too. If you’re secretly a teensy bit jealous (like I was), don’t worry, she might look more like you in a few months. LOVE the name. And you look ridiculously good. Yes, please share the birth story. And soak up the joy of these wonderful new days as a family. All the best to you three!
I would love to read your birth story! Congratulations! Adriana is beautiful!
Congratulations!!! She’s beautiful :) Im sure I speak for every woman when I say this, We’d LOVE to hear your birth story! Just not while Im eating a raspberry oat bar haha . Please do share. You’re going to love being a mommy. My son just started kindergarten and it doesn’t seem like he is old enough to be in there (even though he’ll be six in December Eeeek). Enjoy this time together while she’s little, they really do grow up fast.
Congrats on your new arrival. I love the name you chose to name your little girl…we, too, named our first baby girl Adriana. May you find many moments of joy with your little one as she grows.
Congratulations, Angela! Would definitely love to hear your birth story. Wishing you all the best in these magical first few days and weeks.
She’s beautiful and so alert! Would love to hear the birth story,
Congratulations Angela and Eric!!!! She is beautiful :) I hope Sketchie warms up to her. Thank you for sharing with us.
I would also love to hear your story. I’m 34 weeks with my first and have really enjoyed following your baby posts and all of your awesome readers tips and tricks in the comments! :)
Congratulations Angela! She is so beautiful!!! I would definitely love to hear about your birth story, thanks for sharing!
Viviane :)
Would love to read the birth story! Congrats!!!
Beautiful, just beautiful. :)
She is so cute! What name did you choose for her middle name?
Beautiful! You are all blessed. Angela, you look radiant! Please share the birth story. The whole process is such a miracle and I love hearing about it.
Enjoy your new family! You did a great job!
Congratulations! She is GORGEOUS! And yes, please do share your birth story! I know everyone’s experience is different, but as an expecting mom, I would love a glimpse of what to expect. So happy for you all!
Congratulations!!! And birth stories are my absolute favorite type of blog post!
Congratulations!!!! And YES birth story please! I loved your weekly baby updates, I hope they can still continue (maybe monthly?).
Congratulations!! I’ve been following along with your journey every step of the way and I can’t wait to hear more about what’s to come!
Congratulations Ange and Eric!!!!!! She’s gorgeous. So happy for you two!
Congratulations!! She is beautiful and looks just like Eric! I would love to hear your birth story.
I was wondering, is her name pronounced Ah-dree-ah-na or Ay-dree-anna? And is the “anna” part Ah-na or AN-a? What nicknames do you have for her (if you have any yet). Can’t wait to see more pictures! :)
Congratulations! So happy for you both. And thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Congratulations! You all look wonderful, and she seems so alert already! Ready to take on the world!
So happy for you! She’s just adorable! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s been so fun to follow! Can’t wait for birth story and nursery pics!
So happy for you all! Adriana is beautiful (and I love the name; I have a daughter named Adrienne). Would love to hear your birth story! Best wishes to you and your whole family!
Congratulations!!! SO EXCITED for you! You all look so happy and healthy. Yes, we would LOVE to hear your birth story. We are 32 weeks along and expecting our first baby, a little girl, around Thanksgiving. I have been trailing 8 weeks behind you this whole time! Wishing you and your family love, laughter, and joy!
Congratulations! Would definitely love to read a birth story and post-partum posts. I just had my first baby in March. It is an awesome and challenging experience! Hope you get a little sleep!
Congratulations!!! She’s beautiful!!!
Congratulations!!! I kept checking to see if there were updates and it just barely dawned on me to check the baby section. I am so very excited for you and your family :)
Adriana looks absolutely precious and beautiful… and I agree she glows too (from a post by someone else). Congrats to you all!
I would love to hear your birth story!
You are postively radiant in both the pictures. Enjoy your little bundle she does look like her daddy :)
Hi Angela,
I used to have a blog years ago corn free cass and I just wanted to say congratulations on everything you have achieved over the last 4 years. I recently had decided to visit your page and saw you were pregnant and have been following your week by week ventures. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant, and have loved reading about your journey to mama hood. Your daughter is beyond beautiful and you look amazing! I am so happy for you guys and would love to hear about your birth story, so hopefully you decide to post about it. My husband and I are doing a home-birth, I am so anxious with the final experience of the pregnancy into having our little guy in our arms. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl and your family! xxx cant wait for what comes next
I am so so happy for you both!! What a beautiful baby girl. (I love her name!) and Mama–you look ridiculously gorgeous for having just given birth. I’m envious, haha. I would love to hear the birth story; I think Moms are generally interested in sharing that stuff. Get a bunch of new moms together, and they could talk for hours! ;) Enjoy this new role as a parent. I remind myself every day to enjoy the moment–to stop and look at my son, to smell him and breathe him in. Babies grow so so fast! And when you’re exhausted and frazzled just remember: the days (and nights!) are long, but the years are short. Congratulations again!!!
Yes! Pretty please share your birth story! Congratulations, she is so, so beautiful :)
YES! I’d love to hear about your birth story. I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my first baby and realizing that labor is just around the corner. So nervous!
Congratulations!! She is beautiful! Y’all (I’m southern) look so happy! I would love to hear your birth story on here! I hope to start my own family very soon and it would be great to hear your birthing story in your positive and beautiful way of writing! P.S. I also got your book recently and I love it! =)
Once again congrats! She is a little gem, and you look fabulously glowing, as usual. You are such an inspiration all around, and I would definitely be interested in your birth story! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your weekly updates this whole time, so I would love to hear the end! :P
Congrats!!! She’s just beautiful! And of course we wanna hear your birth story! Duh! ;)
Wow, wow, wow, she is beautiful! Congrats to you and your beautiful family! Is it okay to say that I’ve been stocking your facebook and blog all week long waiting for an update? Love!
Congratulations, she’s gorgeous!! This is my first comment but I would love for you to share your birth story! Im 25 years old and I’m not sure if I’d like kids, maybe your story will have an impact on my decision. Love from the Netherlands
Would love to hear the birth story! Always hungry for more birth stories !
Congratulations! I would love to hear your birth story!
Congratulation!! Wishing health and much happiness in the years ahead!
21. September is the best day ever! I know it its my birthday too :-)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so excited for you and Eric! Thanks for sharing this and I would love to hear your birthing story. Wishing you all the best.
Congratulations to you both!! She is beautiful :)
Gorgeous baby – gorgeous family! Congratulations!!
Gorgeous and congratulations!
I’m SO happy for you both, and Adriana is BEAUTIFUL, just like her parents. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, it was so fun to be a part. Would love to hear the birth story, always brings up my own memories of having my son.
xoxo
With Love!
Angela – Congratulations – what a beautiful baby girl! She already looks so alert! I have never posted a comment before but have been following you for some time now and have the feeling you are like a friend. I recently bought your cookbook as well and love it! My 3rd is soy and dairy intolerant (he’s 5 months) and since I’m still nursing, I have found many delicious recipes I can enjoy on your site and cookbook! I can’t wait until you come up with baby food recipes ;)
Take good care, rest when you can, enjoy Adriana :)
Angela, I’m so so happy for you and your new family. Reading this brought me back to those first few days with Eden – I can relate to so much you said like you’ve known her your whole life and suddenly life has so much more purpose and meaning. I’m so glad you are finding it in yourself to relax into the moment. It’s such a beautiful moment. Sending love from my family to yours.
You all look so happy; what a beautiful family, congratulations! I love reading birth stories! I hope you do share yours :).
Congratulations — your daughter is beautiful! Enjoy her!
Angela and Eric,
Congratulations on your baby. She is precious. I have enjoyed reading about your experience as you are so passionate about everything and seem to really grab life and do your best! I wish Adriana a wonderful and happy life. :)
Congratulations what a beautiful daughter, she shares my birthday. What a great name and a lovely family, I’ve been so eager to find out how you have been and checked daily as if I was a member of the family! It would be nice if you shared her birth with us. Much love and happiness.
Congrats! Yes we’d love to hear your birth story. We too just welcomed a new baby into the world. We had a baby boy named Adrian born Sept. 3. One day after our due date!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful!
Congrats! She’s precious. Life really does take on a new meaning when you have babies. We have 2 girls and I love to see my husband with them…I fall in love with him differently all the time.
yes please share your birth story
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you. All the best to perfect baby girl and easy recovery for mommy. And, of course, yes to the birth story.
Yes to the birthing story!
She is absolutely perfect Angela! You have such a beautiful family. Congratulations! Would love to read your birth story is that is something you would be willing to share. Cheers!
Congrats :) its crazy how happy you can be for someone else you never met in person!
Beautiful name
Congratulations Angela and Eric <3 <3 wish you two the best on this new journey in your lives.
I'd love to read your birthing story, when you can find the time to write of course :)
You look so happy as a new mom!!! Thank you for sharing your special moments with us. We are all here for help and support as you transition to being a mom!!! There are really challenging moments for sure – so always remember that this too shall pass….
I am so happy for you, it is incredible. I am following you for some time now and it feels like you are a friend, even though I have never met you and the news of Adriana’s arrival honestly brought some tears to my eyes. So glad everything went well! She is a doll and you look so happy! Enjoy the ride.. for it is sometimes a bit challenging and lonely, specially in the middle of the night :) but it is sooo worth every moment!
Small tip for feeding sessions in the middle of the night: I used to keep my kindle by the chair and read a good book, this way I knew I would not fall asleep so easily. :)
Congratulations! What a cutie :) And yes, I’d love to read your birth story.
Congratulations!!! She’s so beautiful. I’d love to hear more about your birth story. I’d also be interested in what you took in your hospital bag, and what you actually needed.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. She is so precious. So happy to hear everyone is happy & healthy. Would love to hear your birth story.
Congratulations and welcome baby girl! Amazing! I’ve been following you for awhile now and have loved your weekly updates! I would totally love to hear your birth story. Happy days!!! :)
Congratulations to you and Eric on the arrival of sweet little Adriana! You all look so happy and healthy — what a beautiful family. Wishing you all the best as you discover the many wonders and joys of parenthood!
Wow congrats Angela!! She is beautiful and what a gorgeous name!! My mom and I are both huge fans of your blog and when we were talking yesterday, she was saying she was surprised you hadn’t had the baby yet or that you must have and just not posted about it yet! Looks like she was right! :) Congrats again!
Congratulations! She is beautiful! I love to read birth stories:)
Oh congratulations she is beautiful!!! I so enjoy all your posts and recipes, looking forward to more and more stories about this baby. I wish your family many blessings. Enjoy every second, they grow do quickly!
Huge Congratulations!! What a time of utter bliss. And yes, to the birthday story! Any woman who has birthed a child LOVES a birth story! And you’ll be happy you wrote it down to look back on it in the future. Andréa
Congratulations Angela!! As so many have said already, I (we) feel like we know you and have been so happy to share along in this pregnancy journey with you! Welcome to your beautiful baby girl!!! :) Enjoy all those special newborn moments…they are precious beyond words.
Congrats on your sweet baby girl!!! I think we would all love to hear your birth story if you are willing to share.
On a food related note, I want to tell you that I absolutely adore your cookbook!!! I have been a vegetarian for 5 years now and LOVE to cook, so needless to say, I have a lot of cookbooks. Your cookbook is not only the first one I have sat down and read cover to cover, but it also my hands-down favorite. I have had it for 5 months now and nearly every dish I have cooked since receiving it has been one of your recipes. I love your food, your story, and your passion! I told my husband that I felt such a connection with you, since I too used to have an unhealthy relationship with food and quite often get hangry. (Your glo bars are a staple in my kitchen now.)
My passion for your cookbook has spread into my personal and professional life too! Several of my friends and co-workers have bought your cookbook and we are constantly talking about which recipes we have made and always end up raving about how wonderful they were!
Anyway, sorry for the rambling! I just wanted you to know!
Congrats again!!! She is gorgeous!
<3 Melanie
P.S.- A post about a vegan diet while pregnant would be so appreciated! My family is very concerned about my diet when I "one day" get pregnant and they insist I will have to start eating animal protein, which will never happen!
Hi Melanie,
I’m so touched by your kind words and support. I hope you and your family enjoy many recipes to come.
Oh by the way, you might be interested on reading my post on vegan prenatal vitamins, and also how to get protein while pregnant.
Congrats!! I’m 17w along with baby 2 and all of these baby posts I see everywhere get me so excited and emotional lol!!
Congrats! Would love to hear birth story!
Happy birthday, Adriana! Congratulations to you all! She’s so beautiful as is your darling family! You look fabulous for having just gone through child birth!
I’d love to hear your birth story! Your journey has been wonderful to follow as someone who anticipates starting a family in the next few years. My sister had her first baby a year and a half ago, but she never was able to share with me as much as I wanted to learn from her. I’ve had some trepidation about the whole process, so being able to read about your journey has made it easier to wrap my mind around pregnancy. Thank you SO much for sharing! It has meant a lot to me. Hope your recovery goes smoothly! Enjoy falling more in love with her every day!
Congratulations to you all, and welcome to the world baby Adriana! What a beautiful name!
Congratulations! Yes please share away :-)
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Please share your birth story <3 x
Congratulations. Your family looks so happy and content.
You definitly are glowing. You look fabulous!!! Enjoy this time. It is so precious. You have given so much to all of us and now it’s your time to enjoy your precious baby and husband.
Love love love your cookbook!
I was looking through my Oh She Glows cookbook today, and suddenly realized “The baby must be here by now!” so rushed to my computer to check your website. Congratulations on your precious little girl…she is adorable! You and your husband are in for such an adventure. Nothing stretches the heart like a baby; who knew we could have such boundless love for another? Enjoy every moment (even the sleepless ones) and have fun!
Congratulations! And what a beautiful name! I would love to read about your birth story! Looking forward to it!
Congratulations! :) I’ve been following you for a few years now and have enjoyed the recipes, stories, and your sunny nature! This year, it’s been so lovely reading about your pregnancy journey in a way that felt like chatting with a friend. So happy for you and your family! Enjoy every moment with your little angel!
PS- I definitely would love to read your pregnancy story. I’ve found all your posts and other users comments to be really helpful in planning ahead for my own baby future. Thank you!
SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! She is beautiful and what a beautiful name!!
I am a long time reader, but do not often comment. Many congratulations!! Enjoy each moment. She is beautiful! Love birth stories – share away!!!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful and you look amazing! And I love reading birth stories so I’m in the YES camp :)
omg, she is absolutely gorgeous. i teared up reading this because I feel like I know you guys!!! So very happy for you both. Wow she really is gorgeous. Would love to read your birth story.
I am so excited and delighted for you and Eric – congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful and these early photos show your happiness shining through. I am sure there will be tough moments and days, but I hope you continue getting to know her and have sleep and support around those funny faces and joyous times. Lots of love to the three of you! xo
A big congratulations!
You three look perfect; so happy and healthy and in love.
Since my baby could come any day now, I’d love to hear your birth story, but only when you’ve had time to rest (haha, “rest” with a newborn) and at your convenience.
I’ve loved following your journey thus far. :-)
Congrats Angela and Eric!! She is absolutely beautiful and all 3 of you are glowing!! You can see the love and happiness through the pictures. Your blog is a daily stop for me and really has influenced me positively. You are going to be such an amazing mother and role model to little Adriana. Best of luck and happiness!
xoxo

So excited for you on this new adventure of motherhood.

So happy for you!! I have loved hearing your story throughout your pregnancy and would love to read your birth story as well!
I’d love to hear the birth story! Many congrats!
Congratulations! That’s my daughter’s birthday, also! You look lovely, and she is darling! Best wishes for a life of fun ahead!
She is beautiful! Congrats. I would love to read your birth story. I am pregnant with my first and excited to learn with other moms and know their stories.
Kindly,
Eliana
Congratulations!! She is beautiful. And yes to the birth story! :)
YAY!! Welcome Home Adriana!!!
Congrats! She’s beautiful!
Beautiful! I had my little girl on 8/21! I would love a birth story post, I can’t get enough birth stories, but that’s probably because I’ve been through it. Best of luck in the coming weeks! (And months and years!). Such joy!
Would love to hear your birth story!!! SHE is SOOO beautiful! Congrats!!
Congratulations! She is beautiful and so bright-eyed!!!
Congratulations! The photos are beautiful, positively glowing! ;) I would love to read your birth story. Best wishes!
Congratulations! You all look radiant! I’d love to hear your birth story. Enjoy your beautiful family!
YAY!!! i am so happy for you, angela. she is gorgeous and i love that it looks like she is smiling in the first photo ;) i’d definitely love to read about the birth story.
Congratulations to your beautiful family!
So very happy for you both. She is ridiculously adorable! Would love to hear anything you want to share about her arrival to her new life!
Congrats!
Congratulations, she is beautiful!
AHHH! I can’t believe how excited I am for you… I feel like I know you personally as I refer to your website and cookbook religiously. I remember back in March when you posted that you were having a baby, I started to squeal with excitement, and my partner looked at me with a confused look on his face and I excitedly shouted “ANGELA LIDDON IS PREGNANT! YAYYYY!!” I may have even had tears in my eyes, ’cause I’m emotional to begin with plus I just love little babies. He responded by saying “who is that?” With utter disbelief (he should know due to the sole fact that we use your cookbook every day) “OH SHE GLOWS!!!!!! Get with the program man!” He laughed at me because he said that my reaction surprised him considering I have never actually met you in real life…
Regardless of if we have met in person or not (I’d go all fan girl if we did FYI), I am so sincerely happy for you. You have a beautiful baby and it truly seems like she will have some wonderful parents raising her. This post almost made me cry a little, and I feel so grateful to have stumbled on your website, as you have changed my life in more ways than you could ever comprehend. I tell everyone that will listen about your amazing recipes and I have even convinced several people I know to buy your cookbook.
CONGRATS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!! She’s gorgeous just like you. I’d love to hear the birth story as well!
Thanks Angela
Mazel tov! Congrats Angela on your labour and delivery! She looks absolutely beautiful….enjoy these early days.
Congratulations! She is beautiful. Would love to hear the birth story.
Wow she is absolutely stunning! And you all look so happy – you’ve been such an inspiration over the last few years and your baby posts have been so wonderful – I’ll definitely be reading through them again when my husband and I eventually have a baby! Congratulations :-) wishing you all health and happiness x
Congratulations Angela and Eric!! Absolutely we want to hear your birth story, if you are open to sharing :-) What a beautiful and alert little lady you have brought into the world. Isn’t it a wonderful feeling?! Many blessings to you and your family!
Congratulations!! She’s a doll and she does indeed favor her father! I love a good birth story, so bring it on! :)
Congratulations! She’s too cute and you all look remarkably well and chipper considering how challenging those first few days are! Adriana is a beautiful name. So very happy for you all.
Congratulations! She’s so adorable. I am happy for you and your husband. Yes, please share the story of her birth. A lot of your blog is educational in a way, showing people how to do things. I think sharing Adriane’s story would be great.
Adriana is absolutely perfect! She looks so alert and healthy! I know all the nutrition you passed to her definitely helped with that. I, for one, would love to hear your birth story. My daughter was breech so I missed out on the miracle of childbirth; although witnessing a woman in labor before my Cesarean was enough to convince me I could live without the experience ; )
Welcome to motherhood! Nothing has been more life-affirming, for me, than raising my daughter. She inspires me to be the most compassionate, humble, awe-inspired, fulfilled human I can be. I am sure Adriana will bring the same light to your soul.
Ahh, congratulations! She is gorgeous! I would love hearing about your birth story, if you feel so inclined to share it. It sounds like you’re both holding up really well, though (I hear a lot of parents who are just a mess in the first couple weeks after childbirth, so to be happy and laughing four days in? You two are like superparents already!)
Please please please share your birth story with us!!!! Congrats! You three are such a beautiful family! I am so overwhelmed with happiness for you. You are still positively glowing and I know what you mean when you said shes keeping you in the now! Babys are good at that. That only lasts for so long so treasure every moment! Even when she cries! ♥
Mandy
Congrats to you both! She is absolutely beautiful! It truly flies by so enjoy every second. It’s ok to spend the extra few minutes or more snuggling and putting off other things:)
Wow! Congratulations, she is perfect and beautiful! Enjoy this special time; you’ll never, ever forget it!
And yes, add me to the “yes” votes (birth story).
Sue
Am I ever glad I decided to “visit” you today! Congratulations, everyone looks so happy! Welcome to the world Adriana! I’d love to read your birth story. I also need to catch up on your pregnancy journey! I’ve been a wee tad busy with my 18 month old twins and trying to feed them 3 vegan meals a day when I’m used to only feeding myself and sometimes my husband 2 meals a day. I think I need to spend more time planning and using the recipes on your blog and in your cookbook! Welcome to parenthood!
Aww! So cute! Congratulations to you both! The 21st is my birthday, too! :-)
I’d totally be willing to hear about a birth story, if you want to share it.
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful! I would love to read the birth story, please share :) Enjoy these first few days bonding with your sweet girl! Can’t wait for more updates :)
Congratulations to you both ! She is so beautiful, I’m really happy for you !
Ah that is such lovely news Angela!!! Congrats to you all :) eek how time flies….only seems like a few weeks ago you shared your pregnancy news!!!! Would love to hear your birth story, I’m a pre natal yoga teacher and it’s always lovely to hear different experiences esp as I am yet to have kiddies myself!love to you all xx

Congratulations!!! She’s beautiful! All the best!
Welcome to the world Adriana. Enjoy getting to know your beautiful baby. And YES to sharing your birth story. I’m done having kids but love hearing other people’s stories.
Angela, I’ve been reading your blog for a couple years now and I feel like I must comment today. I am so happy for you!! Your success these last couple years is very, very inspiring. I’m still pretty young and just starting out with my career but you’ve offered so much guidance to me though your blog. You have a precious family! I would love to read about your birth story. Looking forward to reading your thoughts :) Best of luck with parenthood!!
Congratulations!!! She is so beautiful! I would love to read your birth story as I a m 25 weeks pregnant :)
Many many congratulations to you… You sit in my kitchen with me every day, and have inspired my transformation towards health and a vegan life.. Having two children of my own, I can empathise totally with those wonderful early days of pure bliss and joy, where you are high as a kite on love. Warm regards, amy.
Congratulations, you look wonderful for the mum of a newborn :) LOL
Love the photos, enjoy these first days of motherhood, they are so special.
Would love to hear your birth story too
xx
Congratulations Angela! She’s gorgeous!
Congrats Angela + family! She is perfect!! It has been such an amazing experience being able to watch you grow this little person and introduce us to her. Enjoy every snuggle, smile, kiss and cry. The days are long, but the years are short!!! (would love to hear the birth story) xo

Congrats! I would love to hear your birth story! I am 33 weeks pregnant now and obsessed with birth stories!
Congratulations you two (and to your whole family as well). Little Adrina is such a doll,and does she ever look like her Daddy! I would love to her your birth story…I just love all things baby :)
How exciting is Christmas going to be this year!?!!
Congratulations on your tiny, adorable little miracle!! Babies are amazing, challenging and the best things in the world. You look amazing and so happy and your little is so lucky to have you guys as her parents. )Can not wait to hear about yummy kiddo recipes you come up with too!)
She’s here and she’s just so lovely! Of course we’d love to read the birth story!!
I’m also wondering if in the next few months you might share the naming process. I’d love to hear at what moment you chose the (beautiful) name, if it was always the top contender, where you found it, how you matched it to a middle name. The whole naming process really fascinates me, especially since you chose such unique name.
Xo
This post showed up in my newsfeed and I’m beside myself with how gorgeous she is! Most newborns are squinty-eyed and usually crying but she’s so alert and has perfect skin. You and Eric must be so proud, she’s an absolute doll! I’d love to hear your birth story, thank you for sharing this journey with us.
I have an 11-month old and I’ll never forget that first week; completely shell-shocked (and we were well prepared), hormonal and dead-tired. I couldn’t believe how often he needed to be fed and changed! You and Eric look like old-pros, and you’re glowing as per usual. :)
Hi Angela! I know you’re probably bombarded with comments just like this one but I wanted to say congratulations on having such a lovely baby girl:) I’m only sixteen right now and trying out this vegan thing but you’ve always been such a great inspiration and to see you so happy makes me happy too! All the best with your new journey:)
Congratulations! She’s gorgeous! I would love to hear your birth story!! :)
So happy to see this post congratulations to you and your hubby now the journey that will absorb your whole life begind enjoy every moment
I’d love to read about your birth story! i hope you share!!
Welcome a glowing and healthy baby :) I am happy for you both. And of course, I would like to follow her birth story on your website.
P.S. Love to see the precious moment of daddy and little fragile baby :)
Anna
Yay Yay Yay! I’m thrilled for you! You are in for such a wonderful, emotional ride. I’d love to hear your birth story. I still love talking about my daughter’s birth and she’s almost 15 months old. Best day ever! A great tip I got from friends was to write everything down that she does. You’ll love looking at it later.
Enjoy! You all look so blissed out in these photos. Love it!
Congrats! I would LOVE to hear the birth story… Please do share!
I would love to read about her birth story :)
Congratulations! What a precious little girl….and I love her name! I would love to hear your birth story.
I’ve followed your blog for years, but only tried a recipe recently – fantastic to say the least (No Bake Almond Joy Granola bars). This is my first post…seemed appropriate for such a special event!
Congrats! What a cutie!
Would love to hear her birth story.
Congratulations!!!! She is beautiful and I agree, she looks sooo much like her Daddy :) . Sending all my love to your family!
Can’t believe your baby is here, it’s seems like a week ago when I met you at OG and you barely had a tummy. Welcome Adriana! She’s is beautiful. Congratulations Angela and Eric. You are bursting with joy in those pictures. All the best to your lovely family.
I would love to hear your birth story! They are always so fascinating since everyone has a vastly different experience.
Congratulations on such a beautiful baby girl!! She really is the cutest!!
A beautiful name for a beautiful baby girl! So happy for you. Please do share your birth story.
Congratulations Angela! So happy for your growing family :) I loved reading your weekly pregnancy posts and am interested to hear your birth story. Looking forward to more baby updates. Best of luck!
Congratulations to you and Eric! You look blissfully happy in these photos. Wishing you all buckets full of joy in the years to come.
What a beautiful little girl ~ congratulations on this wondrous addition to your family. Take care and enjoy these precious first days! :)
If you’re up for something different, you might want to try Korean seaweed soup…great for after having a baby. My husband (who’s Korean) made me tons after I had my daughter, and initially I was a little worried (seaweed soup didn’t sound particularly appetizing!), but it was surprisingly delicious!! He made a vegan version, but since I don’t have his recipe handy, here’s one if you are interested: http://kimchimari.com/2011/03/15/miyeo-gook/
All the best to you and Eric.
Congratulations! I’m such a huge fan of your blog and now I am overjoyed that you are being blessed just like you have blessed us with your wonderful blog and book. She is adorable.
She is stunningly beautiful!!! Congrats and enjoy this wonderful time!!!
So precious! Congratulations! Her and I share the same name :)
Wow! Congratulations! She is a darling little girl and you both look great! Enjoy every single day with her. Many blessings to you!
I have been following your blog for awhile. I actually became full vegan before my wedding in April, while I was trying to research healthy eating. I have become obsessed since then! Even my Mom loves your cookbook and made me and my husband your Summer Harvest Soup last week. I have also been following your baby posts. As someone who is going to be soon trying for a baby with my husband, I found your posts inspirational and at least gave me some sense of reality! Congrats girl! Your baby is a beauty and you should be so proud :)
Congrats ! ! ! ! She is beautiful, I expected nothing short of gorgeous. ….look at her parents. .Many Blessings for a life filled with health, happiness, joy and laughter. Thank you for sharing. I love her name. Enjoy the journey.
Congratulations to the three of you! Welcome to the world Adrianna……you have some pretty amazing parents. Enjoy one another to the fullest.
Its so funny ….I have found myself checking for news every day …as if you are a family member or a friend…. I know I am not the only one. And now she is here. Huge congratulations! So happy for all three of you!
Congratulations!!! And yes I, for one, would love to hear all about your birth story!

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! She’s absolutely adorable!
Much love and congrats! Please share your birth story; us mamas love to share each other’s joy.
Congratulations! Adriana is beautiful and looks like a really sweet, happy baby! I am so happy for you and your lovely family. Blessings!
Ange, she is beautiful!! Congratulations again to you and Eric (and Sketchie too of course – I’m sure he’s super excited about his little sister!) It sounds like you’re all doing fabulously well and I hope these first few days with your new little bundle of joy have been nothing but wonderful. I can’t wait to meet her! :) xo
Congratulations Angela, she is absolutely adorable! So happy for you :)
Share your birth story please! I am 31 weeks and love reading these stories:). Congrats!
Isn’t she just incredibly cute! I don’t think babies come any cuter than her!
Congratulations again. So excited and happy for you both.
Yes please do share every little bit of your birth story. Well at least the bits you’re comfortable sharing at least. Lol
Rest up and enjoy your precious bundle of joy!
Angela – I would love to read your birth story. I’ve been following your blog for some time – just reading this at I eat your buckwheat oatmeal! Congratulations!
Congratulations Angela she’s gorgeous!! All the best

Congratulations to you both, Angela! She is SO cute and SO beautiful – but that is not unexpected, of course :-) Adriana is really happy to have such great parents. Wishing your little family all the best!
Congrats! Please share birth story!
Congratulations to all three of you! Adriana is so beautiful and definitely looking like daddy right now. I love the look on Eric’s face; amazed, grateful and overcome, lol. My second favorite thing (the first was holding her) after having our baby was the amazed looks from daddy. Like he secretly thought I really did just have a basketball under my shirt the whole time, combined with a child’s delight and wonder on Christmas morning.
Your family is beautiful. And of course, we all want to hear your birth story if you’re willing to share.
hi! Congratulations!!! She’s so beautiful! You guys really look so happy and in love. Would love to hear the birth story! =)

Wow! Wide eyed and healthy .. Boy, you DO eat well!! Congrats! She’s beautiful .. ;)
I am so happy for you Angela! She is beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful birth and heck yes, would love to read your birth story! I wrote my 3 births into stories and it is so special to look back on. Enjoy your bundle, there really is no better feeling!
Lizzie from Road to Compassion xo
Ps- I have been selling lots of courses since my launch, therefore lots of your recipe books, feedback amazing and everyone loving your recipes as much as I do. Thank you! You are such a talented lady.
Conratulations to the Liddon family! She’s such a sweetie. I’m so happy for you, Angela! Can’t wait to learn more about the birth story (and see the nursery!).
Congratulations to you and Eric! Adriana looks like such a happy baby. She’ll bring so much joy into your lives. I love her name; is the first A pronounced as a long A or a soft A?
Congratulations! I would love to read the birth story! I hope you do updates on how things are going with her too :) She is so precious, and so alert!
Congrats Angela!!! She is such a cutie pie and her eyes are just gorgeous! Both photos are lovely.
Congratulations to you and your family. You all look radiant! Adriana is a lovely name for a lovely baby girl! Another vote to hear the birth story :)
Your birth story? OH YES, Please share it! We’ve followed your story this far….she’s soooo beautiful and I’m so happy for you both!!
It’s funny, I just discovered your blog the other day, looking for a green dressing like the one they have at a vegetarian restaurant here in Vancouver, and now I see you’ve just had a precious baby girl last week. Congratulations! Her birth is a very lucky one, I can tell. An equinox is a very special time for a baby to be born, at least I like to think, as my birthday is the 21st of March. Best wishes in this new stage of your life, adding mother to your already impressive list of accomplishments. Life truly is a journey. You’re an inspiration to the many you reach with this healing work.
Yes, story please! Congratulations to you and Eric in your beautiful baby girl!
Congratulations!
I Know how You Feel my baby just arrived August 17th and I’m SO proud and thankfull!
Enjoy every Second and yes- please post your Birth Story! This experience is something I wish to Talk about Almost every Day-youhave the Chance to Share it! Please do so! (And by the Way, giving Birth has hurt, yes, but it was the Most intense and joyfull Hours of my life – Love unconditionally! :-)))))
Birth story please! :)
Many congratulations to you and Eric. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, for being a parent is such a wonderful gift (along with some rough times, too!)
Congrats Ang!! Would love to hear the birth story!
Beautiful! She may look like her dad but she gets her radiance from you! Congratulations
Beautiful!! Congratulations to your sweet family. I’ve so enjoyed reading your blog the last few years and am so happy for you. We had a baby girl this past June and every day is more fun. Enjoy this special time…take care of yourselves and let others take care of you, too!
Congratulations Angela. I am so pleased for you.
Congrats. She’s beautiful.
Congratulations Angela! I have been reading your blog for years, but never commented. Now I had to, in order to say how happy I am for you. This is a truly wonderful time – I just had our first child on the 28th of September, a week and a half late. Now I have to go back to nursing as well :) Enjoy your little miracle!
congrats Maria! I’m excited for you as well. :) Enjoy this precious time!
Congratulations!! What a beautiful girl and a beautiful name!
I wish you and your gorgeous family all the best!
So cute! Glad to hear everything went well… Was thinking of you today as we just enjoyed a lovely meal of sweet potato enchiladas from your book. It was so nice to come on here and see that your little girl arrived safe and sound :) All the best, Annie.
Congratulations!! She is so beautiful and it looks like you are doing amazing! I’ve been following your pregnancy all along. I myself am pregnant, and I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to read your early posts and know that I’m not alone in feeling like ick, or as you put it in one post “poo on a stick”. Ha! I totally related to that! Anyhoo, I just wanted to say congrats and let you know that I would love to read your birth story!
Thanks Danielle :) So happy you have enjoyed them so much! All the best with your pregnancy and new baby.
Congratulations! I first started reading your blog while I was in graduate school in 2011. I was reading your recent baby updates, and I was convinced you would have her on my mom’s birthday. Sure enough, you did! Good work.
aw that’s sweet! Glad they can share a birthday. :)
Congratulations! Adriana is a beautifull baby and you’re really glowing from the inside out! Adriana welcome to this world! Vive la vie! Lots of love and luck from the Netherlands (Europe)…
Yayyyyy! Congrats Angela! You have always glowed, but it’s amplified in these pictures! Wishing you so much joy in these first few weeks with your newborn.
Congratulations! You look so amazing and your daughter is beautiful!
PS- i would love to read your birth story! Im 28 weeks with my first baby so it’s been really fun reading your posts. I saw the pics on instagram and was hoping to find your birth story here! Please post it! :)
Congratulations and many blessings to your family and your new arrival!
I am over the moon with delight about Adriana’s arrival and send heartfelt congratulations to all of you. She is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all of the excitement leading up to the Big Day (would love to hear your birth story, too) – it’s been wonderful sharing the journey with you and remembering my own. Your family portrait is darling! May every day be magical! Keep being great to yourselves and cherish every moment. It’s true that the moments do go by too fast (even the sleepless ones Ha!) and I truly hope you enjoy being Mom as much as I do. I know you’re already an awesome Mom and have been since the day you learned the news of your pregnancy. It’s the best job ever. :-)
Although I’ve been a long time loyal reader of your blog and a HUGE fan of your cookbook, this is my first comment because I couldn’t contain my joy. :-)
Wishing you all the very best!
Thank you Aimée, I appreciate your comment so much. :)
congrats on the arrival of beautiful Adriana! i hope you are enjoying your newborn snuggles. i would for sure love to hear your birth story if you’re ever up to sharing it. isn’t it funny how someone who is so brand new feels like she’s always been there? i’m so happy for you!
Angie, So happy for you and excited! Ive been checking your site each day waiting for the news!
She looks so much like your husband! Wow. Beautiful family!
Cheers!
Congratulations!!! Yes, birth story please! :) I’m currently 18 weeks preggers with #2 and I find reading them so helpful and often inspirational.
Congratulations!! She is absolutely adorable!! Can’t wait to read about your birth experience.
Congratulations, Angela:) (I’ve been a long-time–though silent—follower for a long time as well). You and your family “glow” with happiness as others have said.
*On a side note, I actually briefly mentioned your website in my new website–my “Nutrition E-Portfolio”; it’s a ongoing project for this Nutrition Assistant Certification program I’m currently going through.
Congratulations! She is so beautiful. I would love to read your story about giving birth. Enjoy every moment with her each one is so precious in it’s own way.
Félicitations Angela!!!
I know your daughter would come the 21st september :) because it’s the birth day of my son Alexandre (but in 2010).
I’m so happy for you and your husband (and family of course).
Bienvenue à Adriana <3
Hi Angela! Congratulations!! Just wanted to say I’m truly happy for you! Parenthood is really the best thing in the world. You’ll be surprised on how fast she will learn things and proudly amazed! She’s beautifull :)
Parabéns, parabéns, parabéns! It’s just what I can say.
YEESS to know the birth story!
This is such fabulous news! Congratulations to you both! Enjoy these magical days of early parenthood.
Reading your story and blog has long been an inspiration to me as I’ve also moved from an eating disorder to a happy and healthy cook and mother of two, and now that I’m looking forward to give birth to our third child in early December (that’s what we think anyway ;-) no early arrivals planned for…), your journey has again given me a lot!
Thanks, love and light your way!
Congratulations! She is just perfect! You make a beautiful family.
What a beautiful family. She looks SO much like Eric. That’s the first thing I thought at the top photo, before I even read what you wrote about it :) Congratulations. I feel like I’ve been waiting for you two to have a baby for years as I’ve read your blog. You two have always seems like such a perfect couple- now the perfect family :)
Dear Angela and Eric
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve managed with aplomb and dedication during the pregnancy.
You have opened a new chapter full of the most wonderful pages imaginable.
She is such a cutie.
Enjoy each day, it is so precious.
God bless
Kay
Congrats! How wonderful! I would love to hear your birth story.
Welcome, Adriana!
Congratulations Angela and Eric…and welcome Adriana…(very pretty name too !)
I am so happy for you…Your joy is palpable as I read your post ! :-) She is blessed to have such an amazing, loving and devoted mommy and daddy!
Enjoy the wonder, love, and light that this little one brings to your life.
Oh my, she is beautiful!! And you both look awesome. I wish I looked that good after having a baby. I looked like I had been through the wringer (25 hours of dry labor, ouch). Blessings to your family. Welcome to motherhood!
Congratulations! She is beautiful! The first six weeks are definitely the hardest but it gets so much easier once she starts giving you “real” smiles. Hang in there!
I love birth stories and would LOVE to hear yours. It is all I wanted to talk about after my daughter’s birth. It is such a powerful and crazy experience.
Ah Sept 21 babies are the best! Congratulations from our home to yours and from our very own Sept 21 baby (8 years old now). I love your recipes! I’m looking forward to purchasing your book this week.
All the best!
Wendy
Ahhh, congratulations — so happy for you all!
Angela and Eric I congratulate you on such a beautiful, glowing, healthy daughter. May the next few weeks and routine changes becomes normal, you continue to be filled with extreme happiness for the love she brings to your heart.
Sketchie you take good care of your little Sister!
I would love to hear about Adriana’s arrival.
Congratulations!!!!!! I will keep this brief since I know you are super busy with your gorgeous daughter. She is just beautiful! I love birth stories and would love to hear yours. I don’t come to the baby page often but I will keep my eyes open for it.
It’s funny, I woke up this morning and was thinking “hmm…I wonder if Angela has had her baby”!! Congratulations again!!!!
Congratulations! She is beautiful:) Love her eyes! Can’t wait for my first… our son is due February 3rd, 2015:) xoxo
Ruth
Would love to hear about her birth story!!! So exciting-she is precious
Congratulations!!! So happy for your family. Would love to hear the her birth story, they always make me think of Timbers…what a great great day that was….so happy for you.
Congrats! She’s beautiful and I love the name! You look like such overjoyed parents!
Definitely would love to hear the birth story!
xo
Angela & Eric, I am thrilled for you both. Congratulations! So glad to hear that Mom & Baby are healthy, and that everyone is doing well. She’s beautiful!
Congratulations! She’s adorable. And yes, please share your birth story with us. That would be awesome!
All three of you look so glowing, and beautiful, and happy together! Your daughter has the same birthday as my youngest child…just three years later :)
Congratulations!!! BTW, I made your green monster smoothie this am…so yummy and so filling!
I know all these comments will take you a while to get to, but I just wanted to add my congratulations! Thank you so much for taking us along on this journey with you, it’s been so fun. As someone who’s hoping to be a mom soon, your posts have been so informational, but also often brought tears to my eyes with your honest beauty. Enjoy your baby girl, we’ll all be patient so you can have mommy time, and we’ll just keep cooking in the meantime!
Congratulations Angela! Adriana is beautiful. Holy moly, does she ever look like her dad :) I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say, we would love to hear (read) her birth story!
I am so incredibly happy for you and Eric!!! I’ve followed your blog for about 2 years now and I think you are such a beautiful person. I’m sooo happy for you guys!! I wish you all the best. And also, thank you for posting your whole pregnancy journey. I am vegan and eventually will have children and I was so happy you shared your week to week experience. It’s so helpful. Thanks so much Angela and congratulations!!!
Congrats!
Enjoy your time getting to know your daughter! Please share your birth story with us.
Congratulations, Angela!
She’s just beautiful!!
So glad to hear you and baby are happy and healthy!
Congrats! Love that name too!
Please share the birth story (unless its terrifying). I’m due in a few months and am avoiding the horror story births, but want to hear the others!
Oh my goodness congrats!! It’s crazy seeing you have a baby now after all these years of following your blog! I’m so excited. I tell my friends about it hahahaha like we hang out or something. It’s great being able to hear your story and know a bit of what to expect because I’m getting to that time in my life when a baby will be something I’ll be considering in a few years, so the more I read and know the better! I’m so happy for your guys and she loos absolutely adorable!
CONGRATS – she’s a doll!
Congratulations!! <3
So very happy for you. She is adorable.
Congratulations Angela! I’m so psyched for you :D Adriana looks adorable! And yes, please share your birth story!
Lots of love! xoxo
Congratulations!!! She’s gorgeous, and what a lovely name! I’m a sucker for birth stories so please add one more to the YES column. I’m very happy for you.
I’m so happy for you! What an adorable baby! I’m 35 weeks and can hardly wait to hold my little bundle in my arms! I feel like I know him already, but I want to cuddle him and see him in person. Wow. God has blessed you and your family! I’d love to hear your birth story as well!
Congratulations!!! Please share your birth story! She is absolutely adorable :)
Hello Angela, Eric and Adrianna
Congratulations! May your beautiful family have peace, joy and health. Blessings.
Lauri Bernard
Adorable pics. Congrats!
Congratulations!!!! And I would love to hear about your birth story, as I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and eager to soak up as much information as possible.
Congratulations on your beautiful little addition to your family! Welcome to the World little Adriana :)
Congratulations to you and Eric on the wonderful new addition to your family (and into your newly renovated home.) I have enjoyed your website and tasty recipes for many years. As a self-described vegaphile (meat-eating lover of veggies), I really appreciate the way you make all your meals simple, tasty and healthy. Wishing you family the very best as you begin the next chapter of your wonderful lives together.
Congratulations! She is beautiful.
Oh my goodness! My Louis was born 9/14 also one day before my due date. He weighed 7# and was 19″ long- our babies are so similar!! I would love to read your birth story!! I have had so much fun sharing mine! Congratulations Angela!!! She is beautiful!!! And so are you!!!
Congratulations to you both. I wish Adriana a long life and much happiness as well!
Congratulations Angela and Eric! She is beautiful. I’d love to hear the birth story if you feel like sharing :) xx
Congratulations Angela! What a beautiful family of three you are! I love birth stories and would love to hear yours…if you decide to share it. I think sharing birth stories is so important and in this day and age where women don’t live in family groups (so often), we often don’t hear much about birth, know what to expect, etc. I’ve had three wonderful births, all at home (close to a hospital) under the care and wisdom of three very experienced midwives. Not for everyone of course, but I think we deserve a choice in where we feel comfortable to birth. I couldn’t have birthed in a strange place, my friends and family couldn’t have birthed at home. :) Anyway, your baby is absolutely gorgeous (no wonder!!). Enjoy!
I have been following your amazing site for about 2 years now. When my son was 4 weeks old we discovered he was allergic to dairy and soy. Since I was nursing, I had to eliminate dairy and soy from my diet as well. After living on cereal with coconut milk and turkey/avocado sandwiches for weeks, I totally lost my love of food. My lack of protein caused me to get sick, often (I had strep throat 3 times in 4 months.)
I was so happy to find you and your recipes to help me learn to love food again and cooking while on a limited diet. Your almond ‘cream sauce’ pasta recipe was literally a life saver. It taught me an entire new way of eating and how my diet can improve my health.
My son outgrew his allergies, thankfully, but I still incorporate your recipes in our meals often.
Congratulations and best wishes to your beautiful new family! And thank you for making the first year of my family’s life a little easier.
I would love to hear your birth story! Please share!!
Congratulations Angela! She is beautiful!
INTERESTED!!
Congratulations to you! I wish you happy, healthy days and years together :)
I also love being a mum (of a 1 1/2 year old boy :) ), it brings out so much new of our personality. I ‘ve never thought it’s going to be that joyful.
I’m late to comment but just wanted to extend my congratulations and warmest wishes to you and Eric on your beautiful baby girl! How incredibly exciting!!
If you are up to sharing your birth story, I know I would certainly be interested in reading it (I’m due with my first baby in early January so I am a bit fixated on birth stories at the moment!).
CONGRATULATIONS!! This is the happiest of posts :) I’m so happy for you and your family. I took a hiatus from the blog world for awhile to get some things in order and when I returned I found out you were pregnant and then a week later you gave birth!! What an exciting month :)
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful, and the two of you look great also – very relaxed and content. Have fun! :)
Congratulations, you two! What a precious gift! Enjoy every moment!
Congratulations and best wishes to the three of you. Welcome to the world, Adrianna!
Congratulations to the whole family! Adriana is such a beautiful baby girl. All the best wishes to the new bundle of joy and her parents.
Congratulations! I visit your site all the time and rarely comment, but I wanted to say how much your recipes have enhanced meal times around my house. Your book is an absolute gold mine, and your site continues to bring delicious things into my kitchen almost every day (I’m not even exaggerating)! And I have to mention that your daughter and I have the same birthday. I can tell you from several years’ experience that it’s a pretty darn good one! :) All the best to you and your family!
Heavily pregnant with my first baby my cousin said to me ‘and just when you think you really can’t do it for a moment longer and you panic madly? that is the moment when you must just hang on because it is your body telling you that you are almost done’
Those words… totally saved me when push came to… well PUSH!
You never know what little bit of YOUR story will hold someone’s hand and walk next to them when the road becomes a little too steep and the doubt creeps in.
much love to you and your beautiful Adriana and her daddy
thats so beautiful Sanja! and so true.
Congratulations!!!! She’s beautiful. I love the name Adriana. It’s just lovely. Enjoy every minute….
Speaking as a childbirth educator and IBCLC it is is important for us to share our positive birth stories. Embrace this tender new time with all it’s intensity and challenges. It really will get better and better.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! She is gorgeous! And so is that name, I just love it. So happy for you and your new little family! :)
Congratulations!! So happy for you all! And she does look like her daddy!
Congratulations – she’s beautiful! I would be really interested to read your birth story :)
Congrats to you and Eric :)
she looks like Eric…congratulations on such a blessed gift from God our Father.. in Jesus name, Amen
Hi,
I knew you were due soon and so I checked to see what was happening with you and was so happy for you and your family when I saw your post. She’s looks beautiful and so do you. You have so much to look forward to and be amazed how fast it flies by. Congrats!! I would love to hear your birth stories and just what milestones she’s making, you’ll be amazed when she start cutting the first tooth, you get soooo excited:)
Congratulations Angela!! She is beautiful (and looks just like her Daddy!) =D I would love to hear your birth story!
Hi Angela!
I usually don’t comment on posts or blogs in general, but I have been following your blog for two years now and I am so, so happy for you and your husband!
Adriana is so beautiful and I know you’re going to be an absolutely fabulous mom.
Congratulations and enjoy! :)
Congrats! The real question is, what’s she gonna be for halloween?! She’d rock any costume ;)
a carrot! lol
CONGRATULATIONS! She looks exactly like her father. What a little doll :-)
I’m so happy for you both. Enjoy these first weeks! Adriana is a pretty name :-)
P.s. My internetconnection was lost for days (sometimes it is like living in the Stone Age here). And this morning I finally got connected again and I saw your post.
She truly is a sweetheart – my heart fills with happiness for all three of you. The pictures just ooze love and pride, all the way across the globe :)
Enjoy these precious first days, weeks and months… they are magical, sleepless, emotional and truly wonderful. I join the choir: I’d love to read your birth story but it can all wait!
And finally: the vegan diet has always given you a very special glow, but I dare say that motherhood has granted you a glow that no food can create. You have never been more beautiful :)
All the best for all three of you,
Kristina from Sweden.
WOW SHE’S BEAUTIFUL! Look at those EYES! You both look very healthy and glowing. Enjoy every blessed second because it goes super fast.
Warning, unsolicited advice: Let Dad and baby form their own routines that might be a little different from yours. I made the mistake of just taking care of everything for my husband and a year went by and he still didn’t feel comfortable changing diapers or bathing our baby. It’s tempting to just figure everything out yourself, but let Dad do some work too :)
Congratulations!!! I’ve been checking OhSheGlows.com daily for at least 2 weeks now, waiting for the baby to arrive! Thank you for showing the world that you can be 100% vegan and 100% healthy (Baby AND Mom). I’ve been a lifelong vegetarian. Attempting to go vegan for a couple of years. Your site, your lifestyle, and your family inspires me everyday.
God bless your Glowing Family <3
Welcome to the world Adriana!
My birthday is Sept 21st too.
I bet your mom’s favorite song will be Earth Wind and Fire’s song “September”. The first lyrics to the song are ” Do you remember the 21st night of September”.
Enjoy your new baby girl…..
She’s so beautiful! Congrats! and yes, I would love to hear a birth story!
Congratulations!!! So happy and excited for you.
She’s daddy’s girl for sure!
Congratulations, Angela! She is perfect and you all look so happy! Enjoy this time. I won’t tell you it goes fast, because for me it didn’t–in the very best of ways. My little guy just turned 20 months and it feels like he’s been with us for so much longer. We’ve really tried to live in the moment and enjoy him at every stage (even through the rough patches), which I think has helped the time to not speed by. So yeah–enjoy this time…and everything to come. :)
And I think I’m simply adding to the general consensus here, but I would love to read your birth story!
Huge congrats Angela! Love to you and your beautiful little family xoxoxo
Congratulations on Adriana’s arrival to this world, both of you look very happy and you’ll make great parents. Make the most of this precious time, it goes fast but every stage brings some exciting moments. Wishing you lots of family happiness x
she is beautiful, and tiny.
blessings to you all.
A sweet daughter, a new mom and dad. What a precious trio! May God bless you all for always
I am so happy for you! And I must say that she picked the perfect day to arrive. She now shares the same birthday as my little niece, Grace, who just turned 5 years old. She is beautiful.
Congratulations! Your little love is absolutely beautiful and you look radiant!
She is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to hear the birth story (:
Congratulations
I LOVE birth stories. I loved writing mine. I like the fact that it’s there to read and re-read. Enjoy this sweet precious time. xo
Congratulations Angela and Eric! Adriana is absolutely perfect! Being a labour and delivery nurse, I see a lot of newborns, who are all so precious, but Adriana is exceptionally beautiful! You all look radiant! I love that you are living in the moment and just taking each as as it comes. It is so important to be gentle and patient with yourself when you have a newborn. Congratulations and good luck over the next weeks and months, as you discover the joys and challenges of parenthood and 3 am feeds. I would absolutely love to hear your birth story!
great picture,congratulations!!
Congratulations. She is perfect and glowing! A gorgeous baby! Yes, please share her birth story!
Congrats!!!! Yes please share!!! she is so beautiful!!!
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you and your now +1 family :) What a joyous occasion, indeed! And, she’s absolutely beautiful.
We are 32 weeks right now ourselves, ready for our little bundle of joy around (American) Thanksgiving-time. I’m definitely starting to think about the actual birth more and more, and would love to hear any part of “the story” you want to share!
Congratulations again!
Congratulation!! She’s lovely…oh you’re all lovely..best wishes for all of you..
Sending lots of kisses for baby Adriana
Oh, she is gorgeous!! What a little doll. When I opened my recipe blog e-mail from you today, I thought…”Oh, I wonder if this is the news she’s had the baby?” I forgot you’d put up a different page for news about her! I would definitely like to hear the birth story (don’t most moms?) and could you please tell us on the recipe page when it’s there? Don’t want to miss it. :)
Best news!!! You’re absolutely glowing and she’s beautiful and daddy is beaming. Just awesome. Please share the birth story. Always exciting hearing others journey to baby bliss! Take care! :)
Congratulations to your sweet little family! What an adorable addition and you’re absolutely glowing in these photos. I can’t wait to see what Adriana thinks of your cooking (there must be baby recipes in the works, right?) I’ll be bookmarking them hopefully for the not-too-far-off future. ;) Enjoy these special moments. xo.
Congratulations to you and your husband! She’s so precious and you look amazing- just glowing!
Congratulations Angela and Eric! She is beautiful and I hope everyone is doing well! I love your blog and the cookbook is fabulous!
Angela, I am so very very happy for you. I used to read your blog faithfully, but have been off for awhile since I started back to work after my three kids! I am so thrilled to see that you have a beautiful new addition and hope to hear lots about her.
My sister has raised her kids vegan and I am so interested to see your new adaptations for
kid fun and food vegan style!
Just got myself a copy of your book and am loving it to bits!
Take care, and hope you get enough sleep.
Julie
Congratulations!
This is so exciting. I’d love to read your story. Congratulations. She’s a lucky little girl!
Congratulations on a healthy and beautiful baby. I wish you many happy years of love. I love being a mom. There is no greater love. Blessings to you and your husband.
Sincerely,
Jami
Congrats Angela and Eric!! She is precious :)
Congratulations! She is so cute and precious. I forget what it’s like to have a little baby around…mine are 10, 9, and 5 now. Time goes by way too fast. Enjoy every little moment even though you’re tired and can’t keep your eyes open. Children are true gifts. I would love to hear your birth story :)
Congratulations! She’s beautiful!
Oh my gosh… she is an absolute cutie!! congrats.
Congratulations! She is gorgeous! Would love to hear your birth story.
I don’t know if you are breastfeeding or not, but I’m wondering if you have thoughts and recipes to increase your calorie needs while breastfeeding. I am due with my second in December, and with my first, I just could not keep up with my calorie needs without snacking on high sugar foods, like chocolate. I’d like some ideas that have a little more nutritional value, and quick and easy!! Thanks
Congratulations! Adriana is beautiful and so alert. What a joy to see your photos! Yes, I would love to read your birth story. Enjoy every moment with her!
Yes!! Please please please share your birth story! They make my heart happy. Congrats on being a mama!!!
Late congrats, Angela. Adriana is as beautiful as her momma. Yes, please. Share the birth story. :)
Congratulations Angela! I have been watching your pregnancy posts and am so happy you have a healthy baby girl. She’s just gorgeous! You guys look so happy =)
Oh the joy and love are incredible, there’s absolutely nothing in this world so wonderful! It brings me joy and memories reading your story. Enjoy every moment, I have teenagers!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful, and so are you! I wish I had looked that stunning three days after delivering my kids – ha!
Blessings to your family! I am so thrilled for the three of you…
I vote yes for the birth story as well:-)
Congrats! She is absolutely beautiful and those eyes are just like your husband’s. Such a beautiful family!
Congrats on your baby girl! Yes! Please share your birth story!! My last baby was a home water birth and my first was at the hospital with midwives. Your daughter is beautiful and she’s so lucky that she has one healthy mama! I use your cook book all the time! Tonight I made the enchiladas (my husband requested them!). Best wishes. Take it easy. Do you also know about thekindlife or integrative mom or My whole food life blogs? Other ones that are just great! :)
congratulations! everyone loves a good birth story. glad you are happy, hope you’re all well. ❤
I would love to hear her birth story!!
CONGRATULATIONS!! :)
She looks beautiful! Congrats, makes me miss the early days but each stage has wonderful joy in it. :)
Congratulations! I’m so happy for all three of you. Please do share your birth story. They’re so good to hear, whatever is entails. <3
I love your website! I am diabetic and have to be very careful about what I eat. I also have a husband who has to watch salt and a son who is allergic to casein… Your pictures are lovely!
You really motivate me with your drive! All the best!!!
A big CONGRATULATIONS to you and your husband. Wow, Adriana is a beauty! What a wonderful start she’s had in life. :) One lucky little girl. Many blessings to you all.
Adriana is beautiful and has two beautiful parents to raise her! Congratulations!
Yes, I would love to hear your birth story, please share!!!
I love your recipes and have gotten 4 of my friends/family to buy your cookbook! So happy for you. Congratulations on the beginning of your motherhood journey. I have worked as a nurse in a birth center and love love love reading birth stories. I’d love to read Adriana’s!
Welcome to motherhood,
Britt (mother to Olive, 22 mos)
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, Angela! She’s gorgeous! Life with a newborn is so exhausting yet so rewarding! Sending lots of love your way xoxoxo
So happy for you! You and your husband look overjoyed! Enjoy the time getting to know each other!
I am always up for a good, honest birth story. I think the more stories there are out there, the more women can realize how many choices they have and how everything is individual. It’s not all pretty–it’s real and a bit animalisitc. I also completely respect your right to privacy and would never pressure someone to share if they didn’t want to for whatever reason.
