Been lurking from time to time on my way from Ms Moon's. So glad to see your beautiful, old soul of a girl has arrived safely into your arms. Wishing you a happy, sleepy baby. c0 N2
She is gorgeous! What are her stats? I've been on pins and needles and stalking your blog daily for news of her. Although I swore it was a "him" haha And could you please phonetically write her name so I know I'm saying it correctly? *long time lurker probably 2nd time poster* -Court-
YAY! The long wait is finally over. Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your absolutely gorgeous baby girl. Enjoy the journey. xxxx YOLANDE, SOUTH AFRICA.

Susanne and I are both smiling now at these pics of your precious daughter and we wish you and ET all the best. Wonderful name too! Welcome to parenthood! -Monica P.S.

I said it before, but congratulations again! For some reason I thought newborns weren't able to be photographed... must've mixed them up with vampires.
What a journey my Friend, but she was worth the wait. I am so delighted for you and ET. I hope that everyone out there struggling with infertility will find your story inspirational....NEVER give up!
Typing with tears of joy in my eyes from Indiana. I know what infertility is like and there is nothing like holding your child after that long road. Congratulations!!!!
Magnificent!!! Congrats to all of you- finally together. I wish you all the happiness a new parent can have- which includes, but is not limited to: sleepless nights, numb arms from holding a baby 27 hours a day, the inability to speak in anything but a lilting, high-pitched voice and a smile that is impossible to wipe off of your exhausted face. :)
GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS...congratulations daddy X and Mommy E...she looks like you...yes, she does!!!! I am sitting here just sobbing with joy for you all!
What a beautiful baby! She's so precious. Congratulations and good luck getting any more sleep from now till ........well even when she's sleeping through the night and turns into a teen.....wow, I bet dad buys a gun?
Congratulations!!! We too went through infertility and know how incredible it is the first time you hold your own baby (through birth or adoption). Enjoy the ride - it's amazing (and crazy).
Congratulations to you & ET on the birth of your beautiful daughter, Sanne. One traumatic journey over and a new wonderful journey begins. Enjoy being parents! I hope she can wear the yellow booties, at least for a little while.
Congratulations to you both (all three!) what a gorgeous little girl, looking forward to your next post, whenever you get the chance! Enjoy every minute of these precious times..
Congratulations - she really is beautiful! I have enjoyed your blog for a long time now - and am so happy its come to this... now looking forward to the "next phase"!
