Gabrielle Marie Goertz

After Gabi's first bath.

Gabrielle Marie Goertz has arrived!!!

She was born at 9:49pm on February 15th, 2011. She was 19 inches long and weighed 7 lbs 9 ozs.

She is just perfect!!

My water broke at school at 12:10pm. Justin came and scooped me up and we headed for the hospital. We were in labor for 9 hours before we started pushing. Gabi arrived at 9:49pm. It was the greatest day of our lives. After Gabrielle arrived, Justin and I got to spend some quality family tme togther and prayed over our daughter the first of many times.

Gabi was welcomed by Glammy and G-Daddy, Yaya, Muggy, Aunt Staci, and Aunt Rachel. She has had many visitors, and as people visit, I will try to take their picture to record their first meeting together.

We love her so much and thank God for entrusting us with such a special gift.

38 Weeks

Here is the 38th week picture. We had to take it at the hospital because I went into labor the day we turned 38 weeks, Februay 15th, 2011.

36 Weeks!!

I can't believe that 36 weeks have gone by so quickly. In just a few short weeks our baby girl will be here. Heartburn is still rough and sleeping is a thing of the past, but we couldn't be happier. Oh and it has been decided that if she is born on Valentine's Day, her name will be Gabrielle Love instead of Gabrielle Marie.

I guess we'll see...
