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!!
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 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.

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.
