Gabriela Lynn Reese Has Arrived

Hi Everyone-

Little Miss Gabriela has arrived healthy and happy:)

She was born on April 3, 2009 at 1:45pm weighing in at 8lbs 15ozs and 20 1/2" long. Her APGAR scores were 9.9 and she is just perfect!

Everything went so well, the surgery was not as bad as the anticipation of it and the recovery really hasn't been too bad. I am definitely sore and slow moving, but the pain meds are doing their job. I just have to be careful not to over do it, because I do feel pretty good as of right now. Bob is incredible with Baby G. He seems to be on cloud 9 and has been by my side taking care of everything. It's really such an incredible bonding experience for all of us. I still can't believe it's real after 38 weeks of being sick, but the joy I'm feeling now has erased all of that (like everyone told me it would). She is worth every minute of it. She is so pretty just loves to be near us. So far she's been sleeping really well and we are both getting the hang of the breast feeding thing. It's a little awkward to find a comfortable position for both of us (anyone who knows me knows why!!!), but we are figuring it out and each day seems to get better. I can't wait to take her home tomorrow and start to settle into a routine.

Take care for now!
