Katie and Dave got some sleep last night, although not undisturbed. Gabe is very content to lie in Papa's arms without crying. Of course, it could be because his Mama just fed him. What's to complain about? They will probably be discharged tomorrow. I hope to give Becky some pix to post, as I have no idea how to. Smiles all around!delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-30923894301339807482011-07-26T10:35:03.358-04:002011-07-26T10:35:03.358-04:00Wow, he does look like Hank!

If I could figure out how to, using only my phone out here in the wilderness, I would add a pic. He is so cute. And I don't say that about all the babies.<br /><br />Beth, secret tunnel?!? I just died. I am dead. Nah, my midwife delivered H in the hospital, where I'd had an epidural. But she got him out without trauma, whereas the OB who delivered Laura did an episiotomy for that 8lb baby.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-29880065866057733882011-07-25T20:28:52.301-04:002011-07-25T20:28:52.301-04:00Well, I can report that young Master Gabriel is a ...Well, I can report that young Master Gabriel is a fine handsome lad with blue eyes and fine golden hair. His eyes are open and watching very intelligently. I changed his diaper as David said he had never done a diaper. Ha! He will soon be an expert! His little body is rounded out and he has long delicate fingers that will play a piano or guitar one day. Katie is well although exhausted. She labored hard! I think all parties will feel better after a good night's sleep. Healthy, robust babies are such an incredible blessing.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-5375288604777628372011-07-25T20:23:46.786-04:002011-07-25T20:23:46.786-04:00Wow, that could totally be Hank.

I remember the photo of them dancing that jig at your cousins wedding in FL so I had to go check it out and determine if they were expecting back then cuz I'm all nosey like that. I'm in awe that in your post you've mentioned that you and Katie went "past due". There are so many stories these days of having to have the baby arrive on a certain schedule (and certainly not on a Sunday!).<br />Lots of love to everyone.Michele Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030846420862437581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-41564649174676819672011-07-25T10:59:02.576-04:002011-07-25T10:59:02.576-04:00Congratulations Aunties Becky and Amy!
