Gabriel has been an absolute joy as we've gotten to know him this last week. Despite the rough beginning, every trial and pain has been worth it. It's funny, because we decided on his name about a week before he was born, and as it turns out Gabriel was actually born with a "halo" around his head. We failed to mention in our last blog post that the reason Gabriel needed to be born via C-section was that he was transverse (sideways instead of head down), and apparently his little head had gotten wedged against pelvic bones, so for about the first 24 hours he had a little ring around his head from being in the wrong position. God does have a sense of humor!
We finally settled on Gabriel over the other few options we had narrowed it down to because we really like the meaning and biblical reference to Gabriel. The name Andrew means "manly", and Gabriel means "strong man of God", so we thought it was the perfect fit... apparently he thought it appropriate to come into the world rather symbolically :). And, as many of you know Hilton is Andy's middle name.
Anyway, here are some more recent pictures of our little angel:
