A family of four - Cruz has arrived!!

July 6, 2010 was a wonderful day! Chris, Kaia and I welcomed the newest member of our family! Cruz Kilikopela Williamson, Kilikopela means Christopher in Hawaiian. He was born at 3:46pm, 6lbs 15 oz, and 19 inches long.

It has been so wonderful having a new born in our home again! I forgot how much I love newborns! Kaia has done really well with having a baby around. She seemed to adjust right away, and enjoys being able to help me and hold him every chance she gets. She loves to hug and kiss her little brother - and to greet him every morning, "Good morning baby!" (and every time he wakes up)
Here are a few pics from the hospital and the first days home. (these pics are from the iPhone, and have been emailed a few times so they aren't the best quality. I'll get some better ones up as soon as I get around to uploading them :)

You might not be able to tell from the pic (cus I was a little tired) but I was THRILLED to have my little boy in my arms. The same feeling I had when I first saw Kaia, I had when I first saw Cruz. What a blessing my children are to me.
As they took me downstairs to my room, Kaia got to ride on the front of the bed, she was very excited about that :)
Kaia is so proud to be a big sister. That smile on her face explains it all.





Once we were home from the hospital Kaia was so happy. She had her mom and dad back, and a new little brother! I think she had separation anxiety while we were in the gone, and I think she's still trying to get over it. My mom came to stay with Kaia while we were in the hospital and help me ease it to being a mother of two. What a blessing it has been to have here here!!
This picture is from our first night home, Kaia crawled up on my legs as I was feeding Cruz, and laid down. What a sweet girl. I love being a mama of two wonderful kids.

.....more pictures to come.
