She's Here!!!

Well, it only took one day after my 37 week appointment for Gabriella Joy to join our family.
She was born at 8:27 pm on Friday, May 23rd.
She weighed 7 lbs & 10 oz
19 inches long
Papa T got to help deliver her and daddy cut the cord. So far she's been a great eater and loves to sleep and cuddle. She has blue eyes and dark hair (lots of it - more than Bella had).

She looks just like Bella.
Big Sister meets Little Sister. Bella is still adjusting...we have a ways to go...but she's getting there. The first time at the hospital she didn't really want anything to do with her except run up and down the hall with daddy. Later in the day she walked in our room saw her again and walked out like "she's still here". Tonight we were all at home and she'd come over and bring Gabby a blanket and say Baby....so we're making progress.
Well...we'll post more later...we're pooped!
