Welcome Gabriel Joseph LaTour!

Gabriel Joseph LaTour was born on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 7:34pm via C-section.  He weighed 8 lbs 2oz and was 20.5 inches long.  Dad announced that he was a boy and cut the umbilical cord.

I'll write a post some other time about the unique experience that was the C-section, but I'll tell you now how excited and amazed I was to see our son!!!  Wahoo, I have a son!!!  Gabriel is perfect in every way - 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 eyes, a cute nose, etc.  He has been a very alert baby, which is pretty cool.  He has a head of dark blonde hair and blue eyes (that look like they will stay some shade of blue like Mom & Dad).  Rather than continue to describe him, I'm going to post a bunch of pictures:

Since I'm finally feeling a TON better and got the opportunity to shower & put on real clothes (ok, pajamas!), I hope to have more pictures of myself with the baby today.  (We did take a few already, of course, but they are on Craig's phone and inaccessible to me at the time of this post.)
