On February 16th,
Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan welcomed their first daughter together, and the One Tree Hill star revealed that George Virginia is their miracle baby.
Burton took to Instagram to tell her heart breaking story about why it took her almost 8 years for them to become parents again. She said that the couple has been trying for some time to get pregnant and she did a few times. Sadly, none of those pregnancies, until now, went to term.
Then she wrote what an emotional toll it was as they tried to get pregnant. She said, “And every morning of the five years it took us, I’d open my computer at the kitchen table and see the news and I’d grow bitter over the endless parade of celebrities showing off their bumps and babies. I’d weep out of jealousy for how easy it was for them. Didn’t they know something could go wrong? Didn’t they know that there were other women out there struggling? It pained me to see the corporate sponsored baby showers and magazine covers capitalizing on this human miracle that wasn’t happening for us.”
Then when it finally happened, she did not want to do anything to jinx it. She did not want to celebrate her pregnancy until the day she was born. Every morning instead of crying over her computer, she would listen to her daughter’s heartbeat up until the day she came into this world.
When it was her time, the first face she saw was her dad’s because the Supernatural star delivered his second child. As you can see in the photos above, Hilarie, Jeffrey and Augustus, who has a birthday on the 10th, are in love with her and the cutie is in love with them.
Burton also explained why she is sharing her story now. She said, “I don’t want her birth to cause any other woman to weep at her kitchen table. If anything, my wish is that she would restore hope for others. Fertility is a fickle thing. And for the other couples out there who have had dark days, we want to introduce our miracle baby to you and send you our love and support in finding yours.” Amen!
Congrats to the Morgans on their latest addition and thank you for sharing George’s miracle story with us.
