Gabe has a little brother named Theo, who joined us at 12:28 am yesterday, June 29th. Nine days late and with a labor that was almost the complete opposite of his big brother, we are thrilled to finally meet this little guy! Well, not that little at 8 pounds and 21 inches. All the nurses keep marveling at how big he is for how petite I am. I told them it was all the Cinnamon Toast Crunch I ate.

Nursing is already much easier than the first time around – my milk is in and he’s doing great!

I’ll be back soon to share his birth story and more pictures like this:

In the meantime, I have a baby to snuggle. A baby! I can’t believe I get to do this again. Can’t wait to be sleep deprived. :)

    So happy for you! He is so handsome! Think my Little Miss will be joining us soon based on how I have felt today. Trying to stay calm, much easier said than done, unfortunately.
