Dad and the kids


Bill is so happy that Tucker will finally join Gabi and him on the couch. Tucker’s been hesitant to get too close but he's warming up to her.

Tummy time

Look...no hands!


I decided to go out and buy a sling for Gabi to rest in. She's too small for her Baby Bjorn Carrier so this sling is great! We took our first trip alone together to get it. I found it to be completely stressful driving to the store with Gabi in the back seat. I was worried about her the whole time. I hope I can eventually relax while driving with her. I hate not being able to see her. But she sure is happy in the sling!

Working from home


Gabi has been helping her dad work today. I think she's been a huge help:)

Clean bill of health!

Gabi had her first pediatrician appointment today. The doctor said she is perfectly healthy. She now weighs 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 20.5 inches long!

Gabi came home today!



After a week in the hospital a healthy Gabrielle came home. She even got to meet her big brother Tucker today.
We had to show her off to the world so she also got her first stroller ride. She slept through the entire walk which I take as a good sign:)

Chickpea in my tummy


This is from the morning I went into labor. We took the picture having no idea we'd meet Gabi the next day.
