The New Baby on the block!

Well here she is, born Sunday August 3rd at 2:56pm. She weighed 7.9lbs. and was 20in. long. We named her, Xela (Shayla) Kahana Valentine. She is absolutely adorable. Well not so much the first week but going into the second week she is much cuter. She has lots of hair as you can see and seems to be quite the white baby, certainly nothing like Veraty.
Karma is totally in love with her and wants to be the mommy all the time.

Veraty is doing suprisingly well. I thought for sure that she wasn't going to let me take Xela home.












Ohh yes and i better address the spelling issue. Xela is a Myan word and in that language it is spelled Xela. The X makes a "sh" sound. It means beautiful thoughts. And believe me we have heard all about the mistake of it being spelled this way, so spare me.
This is her a few days old.

congrats tia! wow number 3! I had no idea you had a blog until a few months ago! Am I out of it or what. I found you when joel was showing me google analytics and you can see who is linked to your blog and there you were! I am so excited to read all about your family! The last time I saw you, you were a week away from having Veraty. It's amazing how time flies! I hope all is going well with number three. your girls are beautiful.

Beautiful name for a beautiful baby. Congratulations to all of you cute Valentines. I love the name you picked because it would be pronounced very similar in Chinese as well.
