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!!
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.

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!
