Of all the photos so far...

...this is the one that makes me smile the most-Gabriel's passport photo taken at a quickie foto-mart this morning:

There is just something about the funny look on his face :)

Pics from the hospital

Too busy enjoying our little one to compose my current musings on motherhood, but just know we are doing really well :)

More baby photos

Lo and behold, there is internet access at the hospital. Haven't had much time to make any calls yet, but I wanted to get a few more photos up.

An efficient eater so far, Gabriel/Gabe (we plan on using both) has been happily napping the day away. Today is the first day there's been lots of milk for him, and he's been enjoying having a full belly.


Zach was really cute when he first met Gabe. We brought a gift we'd been saving: little stuffed characters from his favorite CBeebies show. It was absolutely precious how he was smiling and naming each one as he pulled them out of the bag.

A great photo of Dad and baby:

Do I even have to tell you to expect lots more photos in the coming days?

Finally, some real news!

Just so everyone knows...

After what seems like the full nine months of waiting, Beth and I have finally welcomed a new arrival into our family. Zach is now officially a big brother to:

Name: Gabriel Justin
Birthdate: 12 Oct 2009
Weight: 8.135 lbs (they measured 3690 grams)
Length: 20.4 in (they measured 52 cm)



Mother and baby are doing well. They will be spending the next few days at the hospital getting to know each other. Zach and I plan on doing a lot of visiting...

Just posting to report that I have nothing to report

Nothing new from my doctor's appointment, nothing new as far as signs of labor. I'm past 38 weeks and still waiting, getting anxious to meet this new little cutie, wondering if he'll be at all like Zach or completely different. And feeling lucky that I'll have another little boy to love.
