Gabe - sept 11th
We were super proud yesterday to see that Gabe was losing his umbilical cord, to leave room for the cutest belly button (I'm still not very un-biased... it's true :))
We had a bottle of champagne in the fridge for a week, since we came back home from the hospital, and it was the perfect night to have it..
Funny to see that we're amazed by Gabe just making big poops and stuff...

Gabe is home
We brought Gabe home barely 40 hours after delivery... a bit of a challenge, but we did it, and are now (almost) on a routine pattern with the feeding and diaper change, although what happens during feeding time is quite unpredictable: how many diaper changes, how long before he'll go back to sleep, etc... We certainly aren't getting enough sleep and spend most of the time he sleeps resting!
He's just the cutest, most charming little boy ever. And I don't just say that because he's our little boy :P

Gabriel's birth
Our little angel is born one week ahead on Sept. 2nd! Welcome in our lives sweet little Gabriel!
What a weekend we spent! I started having contractions saturday 1st at almost midnight, I tried to sleep it off but that didn't work at all!!! Sunday morning at 6am I told Shad that we need to go to the hospital.. We arrived there at 7:30am. And they admitted us after monitoring me and Gabe for 3 hours, to make sure labor was well on its way.
Soon after that our friend/doula Steph joined us, around noon, to help us through the entire labor and delivery, I don't know what we would have done without her support!
I was induced with pitocin around 5pm, and the contractions became unbarable... then came the epidural, very painful, and it only worked on my left side... But whatever, I managed to feel my contractions and manage them to push him out at 10:55pm.. Pure bliss :)
