i think we will keep this one. hes too cute to not.....

this next one is our first picture together after little gabe was able to be held.

i was so out of it- the medication they used to try to help regulate the toxemia wiped both me and gabe out for about a day and a half, he has been the most chill little baby. now mommy and baby are doing wonderfully now that the ivs are out and the meds are out of the system. we are going home monday and excited to start our lives at home.

here is daddy getting all geared up for the C section

we got induced on wednesday and after 24 hours of labor, i had not dilated passed a 1-(roughly the size of your nostril) the dr. suggested that i try and blow the little man out my nostril- that that would be a better option than trying to get my body to cooperate and dilate to a full ten.

minutes later i was wheeled down to get a c section, and minutes after that we had ourselves a sweet and beautiful baby boy.

I dont have many pics of all the wonderful visitors he has had, but Saturday auntie mandy came and stayed the whole entire day. he sure loves his auntie mandy as you can clearly see.

and this lovely grammy could not be any happier.

many more pics to follow im sure. but for now- this is all ya get to chew on.
