After going into labor the night of April 30, being awake for 48 hours, and over 30 hours in labor, we were finally able to welcome our baby boy, Gabriel David Ellis, to the world. Born May 2, 2013 at 2:35am, weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz. Yes, he was a big sucker!! And even though my labor and delivery did not go as smoothly as I had hoped or planned, I would do it all over again, because it gave me my beautiful son. He was worth every single second.

Very sleepy mommy and daddy before Gabriel's arrival

My best friends :)

Someone snapped this photo after I pushed him out and he was put on my chest...probably the happiest moment of my life.

 At the hospital there was a freelance photographer available to take some newborn photos. Meet our little angel at the ripe old age of 32 hours. I am so in love and can't even believe that he is finally here. He is definitely the love of my life!!
