FINALLY, the Little Piggie We Were Missing!

Lila Maria Batista was born (TODAY!) on December 2nd, 2008 around 2:45pm (Canary Islands time). She weighed 3.3 kilos (over 7 pounds). She has dark hair (that will change eventually) and big lips (as you can see in the pics). Melany and I are sooooo happy to welcome her into our family. We were waiting for the last little piggie that went wee wee all the way home, and she is finally here!

Andrea said...: Yeah! I am glad for a lot of things... 1. Your baby came early (always a good thing) 2. You survived a delivery in Spain (I know people do it all the time, but the thought is crazy) 3. The girls outnumber the boys in your family (always a good thing) 4. Now you have a good suvenier to bring home from Spain :) Congrats!; December 2, 2008 at 9:44 AM
