Gus goes home!

 After 4 nights at UCLA Santa Monica, Gus finally gets to go home!

Messie's in town!

Messie arrived on Monday and headed straight to the hospital to meet baby Gus. She's come into town for each of the boys birth; having her here is the BEST. We may not let her go home!

Gus meets his brothers, PopPop and Fran!

PopPop and Fran brought Levi and Felix to the hospital to meet their new little baby brother. Levi was incredibly excited, curious and sweet. Felix wasn't quite sure what to make of Gus.

Levi couldn't wait to hold Gus. He was showering him w/ kisses and giggling the whole time

Near the end of their visit I was nursing Gus and Levi said to me, "Why are you feeding him your chest?"

I replied, "I'm giving baby Gus milk"

Levi kindly said, "Oh Mama. I brought a sandwhich and grapes. They're real juicy. We can give him kid food.'

Felix showed some interest, but definitely kept some distance

Fran is a natural with babies, and Gus took to her immediately

Gus Rowe Gibbons debut!

After 9 months of waiting and waiting, not knowing if it was a boy or a girl, Gus made his big debut on Dec 1st at 4:13am via c-section. We were surrounded by an incredible team of doctors who helped make this moment extra special for us. Gus weighed in at 7 lbs, 13 oz and was a whopping 22 inches long (just edging out Levi and Felix)

He has a deep, croaky cry that is so sweet. We feel incredibly blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy baby.

Levi's 1st time on ice skates! Thank you, Pen, for the best birthday present ever!

Curious Felix

Felix is clipping at Levi's feet these days, and his latest interest is in basketball... in-between trying to bounce it, he licks it!

Christmas has arrived!

The boys have strung the lights on the outside of the house, and we put up our tree last night! We are on pins and needles waiting for baby #3 and, meanwhile, are eager for Santa to arrive...

 Making cookies w/ Candy for Pop Pop's big arrival

Taste testing. By the time PopPop arrived, there was only 1 cookie left! That's thorough testing...
