We are thrilled to announce the birth of our baby girl, Abigail Jaelyn Gehbauer (Abby for short).
Born: April 27, 2009
Time: 8:08am
Weight: 9lbs 5.4oz
Height: 20"
Mom and baby are doing great. The c-section went very smoothly and a big difference in feeling better faster when there's not 30 hours of labor preceeding a c-section like there was with Owen. The time in the hospital was appreciated. Abby is already eating and sleeping like a champ (although we'll see how much that changes soon). She can do 4-5 hours at night at the moment (Owen was only going 2 hours at the point). We think she is beautiful, of course, and so far she has been so sweet and generally very happy.
We couldn't be more proud of how Owen has handled this. He loves to give the baby kisses and try to share his toys with her. He likes to point out all her features and what she's doing... "baby nose" "baby binkie" "baby sleep" etc. He has no problem with me holding her, but so far won't let Robbie anywhere near her (Daddy's boy to the core). Trying to gradually introduce that concept. Any tips?
Arrived home Thursday late afternoon. Our friends the Tribbles surprised us with "baby girl" balloons and decorations outside the house. So sweet of them. First night home went very well - got a 4 1/2 hour sleep in which is awesome.
I can't believe she's finally here. Love her so much already. Our little family is complete!
