Happy Halloween!

Our little Gabby Goblin had her first Halloween :)  We couldn't really find her a costume in her size but she spread the cheer in some cute little onesies and socks:

Little Gabs is growing up fast!  At her 1 month check-up she shot up to 9 lbs. 2 oz. and was 21 3/4" long.  She did so good but had to get a shot and it was the most awful thing to watch.  She goes in for her 2 month appointment (which is really almost 10 weeks due to timing) November 14th.  Here's a picture of Gabby at the 1 month mark:


 Gabby is doing awesome.  She's sleeping pretty much through the night and giving us about 6 hours (sometimes even 8!).  She has her moments of a little fussiness but really is a good baby.  She's dealing with a little acid reflux but we're monitoring it and hopefully she will grow out of it soon.  I can't believe how quickly time has gone by and that she's almost 2 months old!  Mom has to start work back next week and is dreading it :(

Here are some pictures and video of Gabby:




A little Halloween video for you:

She's Here!

Gabrielle Lynn McClain was welcomed into this world on September 7th at 6:47pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 19.5" long.  She is completely healthy and is doing great. After 20 hours of labor and full pitocin there wasn't enough progress to do a natural birth (I only made it to 5 cm) so we ended up with a C-section. 

Gabby is now almost a month old!  She's gradually gaining weight but still looks like a little peanut.  Everyone is adjusting well and we're just completely in awe of our little wonder.  I will post monthly updates and pictures :)  She has her 1 month appointment on Friday.
