Gabriel has arrived

As you can see our new bundle of joy has come!!!This bottom picture he was looking at his mommy

Gabriel came to us Tuesday January 19Th, 2010

7 lbs. 4 ounces at around 8:10 pm

Mom was in labor for just a short time. She was blessed she had some discomforts but not any major concerns.It's a good thing we have a great blood line(-: We come from a strong Portuguese blood line and of course Eddy's side is Cuban. Natasha is blessed to be healthy and has taken care of her self because she was caring for someone else. I am really proud of her because she started out as a care free girl and has grown up in nine short months to this beautiful young mother. Children are the best of us. God has given this blessing and it our choice what we want to do with it.

As you all know I am the GiGi (grandmother) I don't want anyone to call me that but the first time Gabriel calls me granny, nana, memaw or any of the above(if any of you do I will murder each and everyone of you) I would come running(-: I will be anything he wants me to be. You see, God has given us this blessing , as parents we have made mistakes with our children but.......as grandparents we get the opportunity to DO OVER!!!!!So.... this is my do over.

This is my opportunity to shine lol I love my girls more than my life but this thing called grandparents is a whole other world. So...........When I tell you I am a tad bit excited, would you believe me????? I have been crying for days so you probably won't see a picture of me and my baby for awhile(at least until my eyes aren't puffy anymore).

All kidding aside I have been emotional since the baby has been born. I am very proud and I think way back the first time I got pregnant and when I held that little girl in my arms I wept. So, when I look at him I think of that time and it's soooo bittersweet. So much time has passed and sometimes (not alot) I wish I could go back. We can't soooooooo this is my do over.I didn't mean to get serious on you just a time to reflect. I love my girl more than my own life...I want to say I love you and I want to make sure you know how very proud I am of the woman you are and who God is molding you into the woman HE wants you to be!!!!

Lets get back to Gabriel........................He is a precious little one .I have some really awesome friends.I have gotten more than 100 people texting me and facebooking me and telling me how happy they are for me. If you only know how that feels. This is a time when you want to share in the blessings you have received and to be able to gives me such joy. I have a lot to be thankful for and I do thank Jesus every chance I get . I will post more pic. as soon as I get them. Many, Many, Blessings to you. GiGi
