Gabriel James is Here!!!

Gabriel arrived Friday, January 18th at 8:33 a.m. He weighs 7 lbs. 9 oz. and is 20 inches long. He is beautiful and healthy! We are so thankful for the prayers of our family and friends. God completely took care of us and we are now enjoying a new sweet boy in our family. Here are a few pics from yesterday. Sorry this is a short post, but Gabriel should be coming in from the nursery any minute now!

Mom's first look at Gabriel in the delivery room...


Gabriel in the nursery after he was bathed...


Joshua checking out his baby brother in the nursery...


Gabriel's pediatrician after he got his first evaluation...she said that he looked great! His initial assessment in the delivery room was really good too. The nurse gave him a 9.9 out of 10 for the Apgar test...that just rates his circulation, breathing, color, etc.

Joshua's special time with his baby brother...




I'm sure there will be more updates to come over the next few days as we have time! Again, thank you for your prayers for our family, as yesterday was truly a wonderful day!
