Sweet tiny baby Gabriella sure made her mama wait until she was ready! She was over a week overdue when she decided to make her appearance.Totally worth it of course; as you can see, she's incredibly adorable and quite a little princess already! Congratulations Maryiah, you have received one amazing blessing in a tiny little package!
