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.
