Kind of got my hands full with my newborn son.
On May 4th we welcomed Gabriel Lloyd to the family. 6lbs 2oz born 3 weeks early. He's home and doing great. His 2 older sisters adore him. My oldest told us all along "I want a sister and a brother, in that order!" Well apparently she has some pull with upper Management because she got her wish.
It was a very rough pregnancy for my wife but we are all grateful he's here and everybody is doing good. He certainly earned his name during the pregnancy.
And since I'm sure inquiring kinds want to know MY Grandmother was a redhead. Dad had dark auburn hair and I'm a medium brown. My wife is a light brunette too. So that's where it came from. Was odd since both girls had nearly coal black hair that was quite long that has since lightened up to a light and medium brunette a respectfully. Although this color sure threw us! Since we didn't know the gender (we didn't find out with any of our kids) I saw the red hair and though "oh wow a red headed daughter this will sure be interesting!" since I figured history would repeat itself. Nope we have a boy!
Even better was before we got married we talked about kids and had decided if we had ahoy it would be named Gabriel. That was our boy name. We're both thrilled we got to use it. We were not trying for a boy we just love being parents.
He really is a great baby however he has made his presence felt already. I didn't get to plant the asparagus bed I tilled last fall like I wanted to get those going and established. I also still have yet to even till the garden for this year been busy with other projects that take priority. Otherwise things here are good. Busy but I wouldn't trade it for anything!!!
