It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
Eliza Caroline was born on 12/31/2009 at 7:11am after a whopping 49 hours of labor. She weighed in at 8.1lbs and 20in long.
I can't believe I am a mommy to a precious little girl. A daughter?!?! AMAZING.
What a perfect way to end 2009- The Year of Hope. What a dream come true. We are head over heels in love with our little girl. I have a feeling 2010 is going to be one of the most magical of our lives. I cannot wait to watch my little girl grow and change. So many firsts to look forward to...
Long and complicated birth story to come, hopefully sooner than later. Eliza is perfect and Mommy is on the mend after an incredibly long and difficult labor. A preview - stalled labor, swelling cervix, sunny side up presentation, vaginal delivery and more!
Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy 2010! May it be a year of dreams come true...
Pics to come ASAP - hospital connection is dreadfully slow.

Hi Em! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! She is just the sweetest thing and we think she looks like Sean :) I am looking forward to lots of updates and pictures through Manda. Give my best to your Mom... I'm sure she is head-over-heels and it only gets better. Love to you all. Barbara Ripley
I have been lurking forever - I love the way you write and you have kept HOPE alive for me as I keep trying for a second baby after two heartbreaking 16wk miscarriages since last September. I mention this because you remind me to be grateful I am already a mommy. And now you are too! Congratulations! I wish you all love and happiness.
Congratulations! I have been following your IVF journey for almost two years now. I am so happy for you.
Congratulations! I have been following your journey for a year and am so happy that you finally made it through infertility and have your little girl. I adore her name, Eliza was high on my list too for a girl. Can't wait to hear your birth story - sounds like a tough one! Wishing you and your new family all the best in 2010.
coming in late but wanted to say a HUGE congrats & i looooove her beautiful name. can't wait for pics mama!!! :)
Hey sweetie, I've been checking back every day since you posted this waiting for an update. Hopefully everything is ok and you're just spending every waking making loving on your little Eliza! Can't wait for picture and a birth story :)
I am sorry it took me so SO long to comment. A lot going on at home, and not much of it is good. But all will be better in the end, I just know it! :) Speaking of busy days, I hope you are adjusting to having Eliza around and that motherhood is everything we all dreamed it would be. It’s funny, even though I’ve never met you in person, I know you are an awesome mother. From what I hear, these first 6-8 weeks can be difficult, so just remember you are in our prayers. We love you and are so excited you reached the ‘other side’ of infertility! You give us all hope! Thank you for your wonderful encouragement!!
