Giuliana Rancic's baby is finally here! She and husband Bill Rancic have welcomed a baby boy into the world. The regally-named Edward Duke Rancic was delivered at 10:12pm yesterday (August 29, 2012) and was born by gestational carrier. Little Edward weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces and measured 20 inches, according to E! Online. Giuliana Rancic told E! News exclusively "Bill and I are blessed beyond words to welcome Edward into our lives. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way. We are so in love with the little guy already!"
According to the report, the labor lasted a little over four hours and progressed without complications. Giuliana and Bill were in the delivery room the entire time so were able to watch their son being born. At the moment that he was delivered, they apparently burst into tears of joy and said that they were "beyond elated" to have finally become parents. Bill was given the honor of cutting the umbilical cord, whilst Giuliana was the first to hold Edward. They took turns feeding their new baby, who apparently has a big appetite.
Whilst Giuliana and Bill were seeing a doctor in Denver regarding infertility issues, it was recommended that Giuliana get a mammogram. It was then that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and has since become a prominent spokeswoman for the importance of breast cancer screening. "One of the things we've always tried to do is help others with our story," said Giuliana, adding "We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered. We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has been following our journey."
