She's Here!!!

These are in the opposite order, but oh well! :) Jessie Lehualani Heileson (lehualani means beautiful flower from heaven...the words may be switched around.) 7 lbs. 12.5 oz.  19.5 inches long.  She arrived at 10:45 am on April 29th. (my dads birthday...thanks dad!) Everything went really well and she arrived exactly 12 hours after my water broke.  We are very blessed.  We are not really sure who she looks like yet, but time will tell.  I was surprised by how dark her hair is.  It does have some red in it! I am obviously partial, but I think that she is the most amazingly beautiful baby ever! :)

We are finally home!  She loved the car ride home, so we left her in her car seat for awhile till she woke up.
Our first family picture! We are getting ready to leave the hospital.
After her first bath.  Oh she smelled so good!
During her first bath...she  did not like it much, and turned an amazing color of red and woke up the rest of the babies on our floor! :)
Jessie, mommy, and grandma.  We are sooo happy!
Patiently waiting to be measured.  The minute Phil saw the crown of her head she had him wrapped around her little pink finger! 
Phil got to cut the umbilical cord.
Just after my water broke.  Phil was a little anxious, but I wanted to get one last picture.

We are so happy and so blessed!  We are excited and ready to start this new chapter of our life!

OVERDUE

Welp,  Mom is here.  I am done with school.  I am ready for baby, but Jessie is obviously not ready!  Apparently I have made her little home in my belly too comfortable for her...not so much for me though.  So I am one day overdue, and really no signs that she will be coming anytime soon!  I keep praying though.  I so can not wait!  I can not sleep anyway, so I may as well have a cute little baby keeping me up instead of a hard big belly!  Anyway, here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Me and Mom at the beach on Saturday...one day before my due date...pretty big belly huh!?!  I actually got a tan line on my legs from the shadow of my belly.


Travis on his birthday.  The family here in Hawaii came over to celebrate.
Phil and Levi...Phil does not like to take many pictures, so I have to post the ones I get even if they are not the best! :)
Me and my baby Jessie belly at 38 weeks!!!
Me and Phil, once again, Phil is not really excited to be photographed!  :)
