    Introducing Ms. Tessa Anne, our rainbow baby after 5 years of infertility/loss

    Our family is overjoyed to welcome Ms. Tessa Anne, our much longed for rainbow baby, born Mon Aug 28. That she is our first girl was just the giant cherry on the sundae after 5 years of infertility and repeat losses. Even though the pregnancy was fraught with worry and stress, and induced labour agonizing in its own way (4cm to fully dilated in just over an hour with no epidural! OWWWW) it was all worth it to welcome our sweet Tessa into the world. We also found out she is the first girl born to my hubby's side of the family in 4 generations! Wow!

    She has been attached to me pretty much since birth (ok to my boobs LOL) and even though I'm exhausted and sleep deprived I'm loving every moment. Actually anytime hubby takes her I want her right back!

    We will probably be calling her Queen Tessa soon as she is very opinionated, sassy, and strong willed already! She is going to rule this roost it seems.

    Enjoying every moment, can't believe we finally had another healthy baby and a girl too. It's a dream come true.
