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!!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful and you look amazing! And I love reading birth stories so I’m in the YES camp :)

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!
