Congrats!!!!
Hey, our baby girl is being named Gabriella, too!
What are you going to do as a nickname, just out of curiousity?
My son was in the 5 pound range- he is two and a half now and still on the smaller side, as pretty much all Guatemalan's are. He isn't abnormally small though- so she will catch up a little! Congrats again!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and information on sizes. We are so in love with our tiny peanut!

Jennifer - I am not sure what we are going to call her for a nickname. I had thought Gabby but I am starting to like Ella more and more. Maybe we will just call her peanut lol! We seem to be right now. Anyway, how about you? Have you come up with a different nickname for your Gabriella?

Angie -- I love Ella and want to call our Gabriella that, but DH likes Gabby, so not sure if I can talk him out of that! He already calls her that, though we mostly call her Gabriella for now.
