My little man

After seeing my sister Cerissa's post today, I was inspired to take some cute shots (or attempt to...) of Gabriel. They didn't turn like I hoped, but hey, I tried.

Here they are:

Love that boy!!

Picture Post (with a few words)

Ava went and did this all on her own -- how sweet is that!

Delicious cocoa sorbet -- but why does my daughter have to look like Gene Simmons?!

Gabe and Jude's first "playdate"

Ava loves to make weird faces for the camera -- obviously, Gabriel likes to make weird faces for the camera, too!

Hope to see you all soon!

Labor & Delivery

So, Gabriel was born! He was 7.1lbs & 20.75" on February 25th at 10:49pm. We are thrilled to have such a little blessing added to our family!

Here's a few pictures of the labor and delivery:

This picture is a good representation of my labor... I was at 7cm here with contractions 2min apart, and I'm on the phone joking to my sister about how I can hardly feel them(and I was on pitocin!!)! I am still amazed when I think back about how easy my labor was... that is, until my midwife broke my water at 8cm... Then the pain came full force!

Proud big sister!

First family picture! Unfortunately, this was the best one we could get...

Another post to come soon!
