World...Meet Gabrielle
For those of you who know me at all, you know that I don't wait for anything...I go right after it. Well, low and behold, I went into labour 2 weeks early and we had a little baby girl last night! Gabrielle joined us at 10:11pm, after 45 minutes of labour. Yes, you read that right...45 minutes. At 9pm I was 2cm diilated and then all of a sudden had the overwhelming urge to push...and push I did..and out she came! I didn't even have time to ask for pain medication, even though I didn't really need it. I was spoiled through the entire pregnancy, labour and birth. Now, all we can hope is that rest of our lives is just like this!

Little Gabrielle is just perfect, as any mother thinks of her new baby...but she really is. She has big blue eyes, dark hair, the perfect button nose and beautiful little earlobes. She weighed 7lbs 4oz, 20 inches long and all 10 fingers and toes. I can't describe how perfect she really is...see for yourself with the photos.


More photos to follow in the days ahead!

Congratulations you guys! She is beautiful! We all were so excited at work. We will miss you so you have to come and visit (not permitted in the building without the baby!). Lots of love,

Nicole
