Introducing...

20 inches long

He looks exactly like Saki did when he was born.

I felt soooo crappy during the c-section. You can see how huge my left arm is from the blood pressure cuff cutting off my circulation. They also laid me back way too far and my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head. They had me back so far that the anesthesia started going too high and I couldn't breathe. Luckily they had lots of people around to take care of me when everything seemed to be going wrong. Here is my first moment with Apisai.

Here they are weighing him. Funny that I carried him the longest out of all of my kids and he still weighed less than Kaveni.

This was the sweetest moment. Saki has been such a good helper with Apisai. I can already see the special bond that all of these three boys have together. It is amazing to watch how much they care for and try to protect each other.
