Day # 7

Gabriel has his first visitor-our friend and neighbor, Erin.

Our friend, Catie, made him this cute pumpkin hat and we love it but at the moment he doesn't seem to like it at all;( Isn't it funny how babies are still cute even when they are crying?!

Day # 6



Gabriel in his new Moby that Grandpa Frank bought him. I LOVE the Moby wrap and I highly recommend this to all parents who want to wear their baby. Gabriel loves the Moby!!

First bath (with Mommy).Posted by Picasa

Day # 5

My sleepy guys.

A diaper change at the birthing center on one of our lactation visits. I took a picture because Gabriel shot poop onto Chet's hand and I was cracking up!! The lactation nurse, Nancy, was even laughing. I wished I had gotten it on video just so I could laugh over and over. Aaah, the joys of parenthood;)

Weighing in at the birthing center and not happy about it.

Gabriel still had his cord clamp so it's being taken off now. His cord fell off late this night.Posted by Picasa

Day # 4


Yes, this is a costume. It's the outfit from Chester's build a bear (don't ask). We just set it on top of him to get the idea of what he would look like once he got big enough to wear it. Yep, he was still too small for a teddy bear outfit...crazy huh?!

Uhm, can you say cute?!

Posted by PicasaTaking a family picture while laying in bed. Gabriel looks a little yellow because he had a slight case of jaundice. Once he started on the supplement and gained some weight the jaundice went away quickly.

Day # 3




We had to feed Gabriel with a syringe using donor breast milk. It was a tough time for all of us:( He had lost just a little too much weight but with the supplement he gained it all back and then some in a short amount of time. He's a growing boy.Posted by Picasa

Day # 1 (at home)

Chet changing his FIRST diaper. He handled it like a champ!

Aaaah, life is good.

Burping our little guy. The pink bracelet is supposed to be a way of remembering when the baby last ate-we were so sleep deprived we really needed some kind of system of remembering when things happened. I could NOT sleep no matter what:(

Posted by PicasaI think I just wanted to stay awake and look at this sweet little face all day and night.
