in delivery room & NICU

Aunt Lala took these photos. I love 'em!


this is right when Fila was born. I was, unfortunately, not there because I was still getting my c-section.

1 week pictures

These are Fila's 1 week old photos. My favorite is with Kimi holding him and Fila's lips are all poochy.
At this time, Fila now weighs 9 lbs 5 oz!!! What a growing, big boy he is!

October 16, 2009 @ 5:10 p.m. Fila is 1 minute old and Kimi is so happy to finally have his son here.Fila is 2 days old. This is the first time I was able to see him. I thought he was so cute!
Fila sleeping in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). He was receiving antibiotics because I had a fever right before he was born so they gave him antibiotics to prevent any infections I may have had that was causing my fever.

Fila has finally arrived!!

Kimi and I are so happy to have Fila here. Although I'm very tired, I am feeling better each day and enjoy getting to know my son. The full effect (of being a mom) hasn't really hit me, yet.
