Gabriel Alexander is HERE!

I am so bad about posting here, but life has been pretty different these days! Gabriel decided to make his debut a day ahead of time, so we were in for a little bit of shock! I was supposed to be induced Monday, July 27 at 6 am. Lo and behold, my water broke Sunday at around noon. We have never moved so fast! We jumped in the shower, grabbed all our stuff, and headed to the hospital! Once I got there, they did an ultrasound to make sure my water had broken, and set me up in a room. I was about 3 cm. at that point, but got to 4 cm. an hour or two later. At about 7 pm that night, I got my epidural and they started the pitocin. Maybe an hour or two later, I had gone from 4 cm to 10 cm and was ready to push! I pushed for about 30 minutes, and Gabriel was born at 11:23 that evening. He weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz. and measured 18 1/2 inches. We were so thrilled and excited to finally meet our precious angel.

Life since then has been so much fun! He is a wonderful baby. Gabriel sleeps and sleeps and sleeps! He only wakes up about every 3 hours to eat, and then he is back to bed! We actually get excited when he is awake because those moments are so few and far between. We could not ask for a better baby, and are so blessed that he is so perfect. We are already so in love!
