Gabriella is growing!

We wanted to post another picture of Gabby. She is a pretty easy baby. She has been eating lots, but she has been sleeping lots as well. She doesn't cry very much and everyone loves her.

Welcome Gabriella!

We had a baby girl today at 2:28 pm! We are very happy to welcome Gabriella Areta into our family. She was 9 pounds 10.3 ounces and 20.5 inches at birth. She also had a head measurement of 14.25 and chest measurement of 14.5. We went in for induction a little before 6:00 this morning and Jennifer was started on pitocin at about 7:00. Since they wanted to give two doses of antibiotics 4 hours apart, they kept things pretty slow. Then, her doctor was busy in surgery and didn't come break her water until about 1:50. Everything went very quickly from that point and the medical staff were all amazed how quickly Gabriella came. We look forward to having her home soon.

Baby Induction

Well, my last appointment was on Monday and the doctor mentioned that he could induce me this weekend if I wanted. I told him I would think about it. We thought about it and decided to call today to schedule an appointment. I'm going in early tomorrow morning to be induced. I would rather not be induced, but at this point I am desperate to have this baby and I just don't know if I will ever go into labor naturally. As of tomorrow I will be a week over. We'll post info and pictures tomorrow.
