We're Home

Tuesday, February 20, 2007 by Leslie Paladino

We were released from the hospital about 3:30 PM yesterday (Monday) afternoon.  We are home and all adapting to our new lives.  Seems like we do a lot of swaddling, cuddling, and feeding (mostly feeding for Leslie), but we're getting the hang of it.  Gabby is a little jaundiced and so we're having to supplement with formula for a few days until that gets worked out.  Other than that, everything is great.

Ellie has unexpectedly been wonderful and seems to be adapting well.

She's Here!

Sunday, February 18, 2007 by Michael Paladino

Gabby has arrived!  She was born yesterday, February 17, 2007 at 3:07 PM.  She weighs 7 lbs 6 oz and is 20 3/4 inches long.  She has a head full of long light to dark brown hair and most importantly is healthy.  Leslie is doing great as well and had about as easy a delivery as could be expected.  We thank God for Gabby and her safe arrival.

Leslie's water broke about 11:40 PM Friday night.  We went into the hospital shortly thereafter, and she started having mild contractions about 3:30 AM Saturday morning.  The nurses administered Pitocin around 9:30ish Saturday morning and the heavy contractions began.  Later after about an hour of pushing, Gabby was delivered at 3:07 PM.

We thank everyone for the prayers and support and look forward to you all meeting our new little one.
