Introducing Gabriel Adam Franco

I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy this past Monday, December 7, 2009. 

Gabriel Adam Franco arrived at 12:41 p.m., and weighed 6lb 5oz. He came out with soft dark hair and was 18 1/2 inches long. By all accounts (well, mine and his father’s) he is the handsomest baby boy ever born. πŸ™‚

I kept spontaneously bursting into happy tears on Wednesday as my little family drove home from the hospital. I am learning that it’s possible to love so much that it hurts. How wonderful that God would give us the chance to experience a tiny fraction of the overwhelmingly powerful love He has for us.

Becoming a mom has given me more to think, write and pray about than I ever thought possible…

I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
