First days with Gabriela Rose

We can't even begin to put into words the emotions and love we felt with Gabi's arrival.  Her delivery went extremely well and Daddy even got a chance to hold her while the docs finished stitching up Mommy on the OR table.  Mommy's first day of recovery didn't go perfectly, but Gabi sure is worth it.  Turns out that Mommy is REALLY sensitive to morphine and any other major pain meds (the main reason why she was nauseous and out of it all day Saturday).  Gabi turned out to be a VERY easy going, non-fussy baby.  Mommy was delighted to also finally have  lil one that would breast feed !  It has been such a wonderful bonding experience. 

We were surrounded by family the first 2 days with visitors coming and going to meet the newest addition.  Gabi was a trooper through it all.  Will and Isa ADORE their lil sister.  Isa is especially enamored with Gabi and is constantly asking to hold her, gives her countless kisses, and is heard saying "I love you baby Gabi" over and over!  We think the hardest part about our upcoming homecoming will be to keep Isa from wanting to hold Gabi ALL the time =).  Mommy and Daddy have enjoyed the special time they have had with Gabriela one on one at the hospital.  She is truly a little cuddle bug but isn't overly needy. 

We want to thank everyone for your prayers, love and support.  We can't wait for all of you meet Gabi.  She is truly a blessing to all of us!
