Shutterfly baby photo books are the perfect way to preserve your baby's precious moments.

We were just loving having miss Gabby around at our house! At her 2 week appointment, The Dr was concerned because she had only gained 2 oz in a week and a half so he had me come back the next week for a weight check. She rallied right back from only gaining 2 oz and had gained 9 oz! My sweet little chunk is growing so fast! She is now 8 lbs 10 oz and I'm sure she's more than that now, because she's been eating a lot more the last few days.
We have a few nicknames for her as well : Gabby, Gabbers, Gabs, princess, sweetheart, pretty girl, girly. My favorite is how Spencer says her full name, Gabriella. He can't quite say it so he says Gabby Ella.

We are loving our little cutie-who knew having a girl was so much fun! I painted her toenails this week which was fun and they are way cute. I was almost giddy with excitement over it. Spencer is enjoying her- when she does tummy time he insists on getting his blanket and doing it with her every day. He also has to make sure she wears a bow. If I take it off for any reason, he says "he needs a bow!"and gives it to me to put on (we are working on the he/she his/her thing).

On a side note, having my baby at Ogden regional Family Birth Place made me realize how much I missed the place. I did my preceptorship there 2 years ago. Here is to hoping I can get a job there someday!

Gabby

Gabby is 1 week old today. Here are some pictures of her!

Gabriella is here!

I realize I have been a terrible slacker at blogging. I didn't even blog about Christmas! But, our new little girl is here and I have to put a little about her arrival on here.
We ate at 5 Guys the night before she came and it gave me such bad heartburn all through labor that I was throwing up. Yuck.
My blood pressure dropped super low right after getting my epidural and I was blacking out. Not much fun either.
My epidural stopped working about an hour or two before she was born. I felt a LOT. OUCH!
She weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces. I cannot believe she weighed so much.Spencer only weighed 6 lbs 13 oz, so I was expecting something similar.
She was 19.5 inches long, the same as Spencer.
It only took 3 pushes from 1 contraction to get her out-yay!
She has thick dark hair, which is weird because neither Jacob nor I have overly dark hair.
She has some looks like Spencer and me too. I can't see Jacob yet.
She is so cute and we love her already! Sadly, Spencer hasn't been able to visit due to the policy during flu season, but hopefully he will love her too. He already told us she can't be born yet, because she didn't have any arms, lol!
