On the day after Thanksgiving, Gabrielle Elizabeth Tindall was born. We spent 16 hours in labor waiting for her to make her grand entrance, and what an entrance it was! Our bundle of joy weighed in at 9 lbs 3.4 ounces and measured 22 inches long! Right after, I was taken to recovery where Mike and I fought off the urge to call everyone we knew, so that Gabrielle could have her first meal with mom. We wanted to be sure to take advantage of the wakeful/alert stafe infants experience right after birth. Gabrielle took to nursing like a champ! Already making us proud at 1 hour old! Shortly after, family started arriving to see the long awaited baby bean and to greet her formally, by name, after all this time. : )
