Birth of Lavea'i Fano






He finally arrived at 5:09 p.m. after starting pitosin at 7 a.m. Lavea'i weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. His doctor was awesome. This is the first time I have been to this doctor due to insurance changes and it went well. It was really nice because the doc's office was right next door to the hospital. I am glad he is finally here and now I can really get some sleep tonight in the hospital. I am going to stay the full two days to get the rest this time. Cliff's parents came and had to see him tonight. They have been waiting around all day, calling Cliff to check in. His mom held him the whole time she was here. A very exciting time for them. I can't wait til my mom gets here to see her and enjoy the time with her.

Hooray! The frequent trips to the bathroom, the constant pressure down below, the backaches, the uncomfortable sleeping positions,.... all over. Bring on the sore nipples! Love ya Maile. He's a cutie. I was expecting blonde hair though. Yeah right. Makes me ready for another one. Hopefully I'll get a closer look before I leave for Christmas Break.

The Last of the Baptisms: Tunoa

I am amazed at how beautiful this day turned out! Tunoa has not been excited to be baptized at all until he had his interview with the Bisho...
