Baby Eian!
July 16th, 2008 by Jenni
Welcome to the world baby Eian! He was born at 4:27pm (Hawai’i time) and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz. You are such a beautiful little guy! We are so proud of your mama and papa, they’ve worked really hard to bring you here. Can’t wait to meet you sweetie!
Aidan, Eamon, Guenna and Cait were all huddled around the computer looking at the picture of baby Eian. Guenna said, “Baby Eian belly button?” Eamon wanted to know what the blue thing to the left was and was asking if we could go to Hawai’i now because he wants to hold him, Aidan was confused because he was naked and then said, “he looks like a Japanese guy!” :) And Cait I think just wished she were there so she could poke him in the eye, or belly button, or whatever body part she could reach. We love you baby Eian and wish we were there so we could see you in person, you are a sweet little baby and will bring many many joys and laughter and sunshine into your mommy and daddy’s life. Bless you all!
UPDATE:
Just talked to Tam, they are all doing pretty well but Tam has a bit of a fever and her heart rate is up. Think she just needs some food and a good few days of rest. But Eian aspirated some meconium and is in the nursery on oxygen right now. He’s got a bubble thing over his head so he can breathe without having the tube on his face, I bet he looks like a little astronaut :) Please pray for him to recover quickly and for peace. Tam wants to nurse him right away but he has to be breathing stable first.
Another update:
I talked to Tam again and they said he would be in the nursery for at least 24 hours, possibly 48. They did a chest x-ray and he’s got a lot of fluid in there. I know they are anxious to just hold him and be with him so please pray for grace and a quick recovery for little Eian. And that nursing wont be a problem once he’s breathing stable and has the fluid out of his lungs. He looks like a strong little guy so I’m sure he will be just fine, it’s just hard for a mama who’s worked so hard to not be able to be with her baby right away. Hang in there sis, hopefully tomorrow!
Golly, he looks a lot bigger than 8 pounds. This could almost be his 9 month pic by the look of his chubby and relaxed body! What a darling cutie!!
he is soooo CUTE! those cheeks need some kissing!
they are in my prayers and I pray he will be out of the nursery soon and with mama being loved on and nursed.
I just can’t get over how adorable he is!!
Wow, he is beautiful, and such a big boy! Congratulations on your new nephew, and congratulations to your sister and brother-in-law! Praying for little Eian’s quick recovery!
