He's finally here! 🩵
Introducing Baby Gio!
Giovanni Andrew was born Monday, 1/5/26, at 7:01am.
The biggest of our Bernardini babies, he weighed 9lbs 13 oz!!
We knew he would be close to 10lbs!
By 2:30 am, contractions began to get stronger so I began timing them. By 4:30 , my app was telling me to start heading out, so I woke hubby and we headed 45 mins to the birth center in Lakeland FL.
Infinite gratitude to for providing the best midwifery support and birthing environment we could have asked for. We arrived around 6am and I was already 8 cm dilated. 7am, he was born, 10am we were heading home, and by noontime we were home and snuggled up in bed.
We'll be spending the rest of January completely in love with this newest addition to the family ❣️
Much love to all who have reached out to check in and send your well wishes. 🫶🏽👶🏽❤️🙏🏽
