An addition to the family

So most of you should know that Heaven and I were expecting a baby. And as of Friday, April 24th, 2009, we have a beautiful little girl. Her name is Noelani Kaylin and she was 7 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches long. She was born at 12:58 Friday morning. She was extremely healthy and she picked up on nursing right away.

Generally, hospitals (at least locally) make you stay at the hospital for 48 hours to make sure everything is going well and to take a couple of tests at the end of the 48 hours to make sure the baby is healthy. Noelani was doing so well that they said that we could leave a day early. We decided to stay anyway because the people who take baby pictures had left for the day and wouldn't be back until the next day.

We came home Sunday and both mom and baby are doing great. Noelani has already gained weight and everyone is getting adjusted to how things are going to be. Heaven's mom and grandma were down for the birth and several days after to help us out. After they left my mom and sister came up to help out as well, and after that my dad and brother came up too. They helped out a lot and just left today. My dad and brother also brought us our new car, so that's great news!

Now, since everyone is gone, we're hoping that we can get settled into a set schedule for all of us and start doing all of this on our own. So things are going well and we look forward to what happens in the future for our new family!!
