The Seastrunks welcome Gabriel Elisha into the world


This is Amber's husband, Jon, posting in Amber's behalf. Amber and Gabe are doing well... Gabe was delivered on Monday at 11:19 am and was 7 lbs. 0 oz. and 20 1/2". The c-section, other than a half hour delay for Dr. White, went extremely well.

Amber was able to get onto her feet Monday night and had her IV removed Tuesday morning. Gabe did not eat much the first day, but began to nurse well by Tuesday afternoon and is doing quite well.

Jacob and Caleb made a quick visit to see Momma and their new "bubba" Monday night and Caleb already seems to know that Gabe is his other bubba.

Unfortunately, we cannot seem to connect to Baylor's Wi-Fi from the room, so we have been unable to post as much as we'd like, but we do have some initial pictures up on our Picasa Web Album.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers and hopefully Amber will be able to post something once she's home sometime on Thursday.

-Jon

Ack! I'm having blog withdrawals since school started for the boys and I can't get on my computer at home in the evenings. I came to a comment on my blog to link back to you. Whoohoo! Gotcha!

Congrats on precious baby Gabe! He's gorgeous, just like your other boys! I can't wait to read more!
