"Our sweet Andie girl is here 🤍 Born on Saturday afternoon, just hours before the biggest blizzard of the season – just as it was almost 40 years ago on Peter’s birthday 🥰," the new mom began in her caption. "We each prayed for this baby girl long before we ever met. We talked about the idea of her since our first date. To now have her here – healthy, happy, and bundled – is the greatest gift."
"Thank you God for this answered prayer. Thank you to the incredible nurses and staff at Meriter Hospital for such a beautiful birthing experience. And thank you to our parents, who were there for her arrival and continue to support us every single day," she continued. "It truly takes a village – and we are so grateful for ours. You are already so deeply loved, sweet Andie. Our little Pi Day baby 🥧 We love you endlessly."
