They came in the night

The night they came, Aunty Didi helped to keep Pesile, Mommy calm while Jordan, Daddy drove to Castle Hospital. The time went quickly and before anyof us could really say "baby!" both boys were born. 12:44 and 12:45am on the 8th of September, the world was blessed with two beautiful baby boys. Iolakona and Ikaika Kai. Both excited to greet the cold world and kicking out all their excitement to be here. Mommy did a beautiful job in ensuring their safe arrival and even though they were a tad too early and kinda complicated things...aiyah!!!they made it through their first day on earth. Daddy and Mommy are super excited for them and pray for them everyday.

On the first day, Mommy was at Castles Hospital and Daddy went to visit the boys. Iolakona and Ikaika were taken to Kapiolani's Children Hospital. They are too precious for a regular hospital, so they were taken to where the special doctors are. It was so cute for both Daddy and the boys. Then Daddy gave his first Daddy's blessing. Aunty Tati and Rhaize also went to see them. Uncle Mike went to visit them too.

On the second day Mommy got some rest and Daddy stayed with her to take care of her. Iolakona and Ikaika got their first visit from Aunty Bubble (Mabel). Yay to Aunty experiences. Aunty Sarah and Aunty Diana stayed with Mommy at the Castle hospital. Then on Saturday, Mommy got to see the boys for the first time since giving birth. before taking Mommy home to Kahuku, we took her to go see the boys. Iolakona and Ikaika got so excited their hearts raced a little too fast. They gave the doctors a little scare. Uncle Theo got to see them too. We got home and put Mommy to sleep. Then that night we went back to visit the boys, because Mom promised to bring them milk! hee hee Sunday morning we all tried to go to church and include them in all our prayers. We had a big family fast for the boys. So many people love the boys and it is amazing the amount of faith and love this little Kai Ohana felt. Sunday afternoon, Aunty Sarah, Didi and Uncle Jarell got to see baby for the first time! Jordan and Michael gave a second blessing.

It's been a crazy week and 1 day but I must say that these two boys are teaching their families so much about the eternities and the blessings of the temple.

Happy Birthday boys! Aunty Bubble loves you!
