She's Here


We're so happy to tell you that Gabriella Rose Peterson is here! She was 6lbs. 1 oz, and 18 inches long. We love her so much already and can't imagine our family without her. The labor went great and unlike my labor with Kate the epidural was actually effective. I went from 5 cm to 10 cm in an hour and after 3 pushes she was here. She is just a precious little thing and we are so happy to have her here with us.

I still can't believe how tiny she is! Although with how tiny you were, it's no wonder... I'm glad all went well with the labor and delivery. Oliver's so excited to have a cousin his age. She's beautiful!

Yea for an easier labor! She's adorable! I like the name-Rose is my middle name too. Look forward to more pictures soon.

We're missing you at home, but the girls are having a great time. Savannah tried to leave the house to come see you this evening and Kate keeps walking around saying that "mommy is with baby sister." Can't wait to see her in person!

YEA!!! I'm so excited she is here! She is so cute, and looks so little. I can't belive that you have another little baby (didn't you just have Kate??). I'm so glad that everything went well with your labor and delivery, and I can't wait to meet her over Christmas.

She is so tiny. Wow! Congrats to you, Matt and little Kate. BTW how is she doing with the little one? I was about her age when my mom had my sister and I really struggled being jealous. So happy for you guys.
