The day Gabriel came was one of the best days of my life. I went into labor Feb 28 at about 9:00p.m. I was not in pain, so Ryan I just hung out to make sure it was really time. I gave him a haircut, took a shower and well... waited. My contractions started to get worse so I called my doctor, she told me to get to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital at 2:00 in the morning. When I got there they hooked me up, told me I was in pre-labor and would be fine to go home. However everytime I had a contraction Gabe's heart rate would go down. They did not want to take a risk in anything happening so I was there to stay until he came!!!! So after being in labor a long time, they finally thought it would be best to have a c-section. So at 8:03 on Feb 29th Gabriel Ryan Gelvin was born.
Ryan and Nicolette have been married now for 5 years. Ryan and Nic live in Bristow, VA just outside of DC. Ryan is 26 and graduated from George Washington University and is currently working in his Masters at Georgetown studying International law and security. Nicolette is 26 and is currently working as a hairstylist. They both love to spend time with their son Gabriel. Gabriel is a year and half. His favorite thing to do is play outside. Two of his favorite things are trains and playing get you with dad. He just loves life. They can't imagine their lives with out him.
