Gabriel Mateo Weigner was born 12/21/11 at 11:15pm. He was 7lbs 7oz and 20in long. It was a very normal delivery at the Puget Sound Midwives and Birth Center and both baby and mom are doing great (both sleeping at the moment). Noah is loving his little brother. When the first met, Noah gave Gabriel a big hug and kiss with no encouragement from us. He also seems to enjoy the fact that both he and his little brother have a nose.

In other news, I got a job at Alere Wellbeing as a Tobacco Quit Coach. Basically I spend the day on the phone coaching people through their process to quit smoking. Yes different than anything I ever imagined myself doing but it pays the bills and I actually enjoy it! Gabriel's arrival made me take off two days before the end of my training period which ended up not being a problem since they decided to make and exception and graduate me anyway since I was doing well.
Jenna finished her first semester of prerequisites for her midwifery program and completed some workshops that will count toward her midwifery program. She will be taking the next semester off then finishing the rest of her prerequisites over the spring and summer. The next step will be applying for the program and praying that she gets in.
We will be enjoying a quiet Christmas at home with Jenna's brother Kyle up from LA. Thank you for all your prayers, encouragement, and support through all changes our family has been through over the last few months. We wish you all a Merry Christmas.
