He's Here!!!

Meet Elijah... our newest edition. He finally came on Tuesday the 14th at 4:20 a.m. We went into the hospital at 1:30 and found out that I was already at an 8. A couple hours later, he was born. He wasn't able to come out for some reason and his heart rate dropped for a long time. Luckily, the doctor used forceps and got him out just in time. It was pretty scary. A bunch of nurses and doctors rushed in and he had had the cord wrapped around his neck. The doctor said that only a couple minutes later and he would have had brain damage. We are just so lucky and blessed and thankful that he is one healthy lil guy and weighed 8 lbs and 5 ounces. He was 20 inches long. We are sooooo excited for a new baby in the house (Just ask Marley).

The nurses said that they had never seen a newborn yawn so much.

Haini got to go with him to get cleaned up.

Marley immediately claimed him as "her baby" and quickly forgot about her dolly.

He pretty much slept the whole first day.

We were able to leave the next day. Yipee!!!
He looked just like Sitani did when he first took him home.

He's been just snoozing all around the house. He is one lazy guy. :)

He has also been hanging out with the boys a lot.

This was taken at 2:30 a.m. when he was wide-eyed awake. Hey what else am I suppose to do but take pictures of my cute little "pea in a pod"?

We are in just so in love with this lil guy and promise millions of more pictures to come. We are so thankful for Mark, Laura and Gracie for totally taking Marley and Sitani while we were in the hospital. They were in heaven playing with Jace.

    He is so cute, I love his little face, there is something about it that i just love. I can't tell if it's his beautiful eyes, or his Tongan noise or if it's his little month with a constant wiggling tongue.

  16. Wow! He is beautiful. I'm so excited to meet him. Good work you two!

    I was asking James the other day how many players are on a Rugby team? I guess quite a few...but you could still have a small Rugby team, with captain Haini at the helm, right?

  17. He is so cute!!! I love his little baby-hawk. Welcome to the family Elijah. We can use all the lucky you bring us.

    It's hard to call Preston being born on a Friday the 13th.

  19. Congratluations! He is adorable. I am so glad that he was okay. It's scary when they say things like that to you. That happened with my twin sister. My mom said she prayed and prayed that Eileen would start breathing and she did. Jessica is all smiles!
