Introducing Rhonin
My sister had her baby, and I was honored to be present for his birth. Rhonin Patrick was born on January 9, 2010 at 1:15a.m. He was 7 lbs, 12 oz and 21 inches long. Shawna decided to keep her beautiful baby perfect and whole, as nature intended – he will remain intact!
Congratulations to mama and baby – that was a whirlwind birth!
Rhonin loves to nurse!
Kieran didn't want to put his new cousin down.
Kieran gave Rhonin lots of kisses (he esp. liked to give him Eskimo kisses).
Kieran was also excited to check for toejam (Rhonin was toejam-free).
The sisters and their babies!
Isn't he beautiful?!

That’s awesome! Congratulations again and Kieran’s so sweet! Great pics ^_^
This breaks and lifts my heart all at the same time. I wish I could be there, but I’m so glad things went smoothly and you were all together. Di, you are a wonderful sister for helping to keep Shawna informed and educated about her options. Rhonin will surely thank you some day!
I love you! Thanks for the photos!
Congratulations to all of you!
Congratulations!
That’s a fine lookin’ lad for the family!
OH Dionna, thank you for getting this up online so soon!!! I will direct my Xanga buddies here for a peek at Rhonin!!! We are home now and he is upstairs chowing down. I wish you could be here to give her latching advice!!!
How precious!!! The last picture really looks like Shawna, too. :) And K looks soooo happy to be holding his wittle cousin.
Aw… so precious! Love the pic with Kieran and the baby. Congrats!
Beautiful! So heartened to hear that he’s intact as well. Beautiful baby, beautiful name, beautiful mama, and I love the toejam picture!
Welcome, little guy! Congratulations, Mama and Auntie!
I am going to be an auntie myself in July. I can’t wait!
Welcome to Rhonin. What a lovely wee boy. :)
Congrats! He’s so cute! I’m also going to be an auntie again in a couple of months.
Dionna, tell Kieran that Rhonin is wearing fuzzy socks today, I bet Kieran might luck out and find TOE JAM the next time he sees his little cousin!!!
