Remember how I threatened Tali about not going into labor before the baby shower? Well, I never knew I had such pull with her. haha A couple hours after the shower, Tali was in the hospital because her water broke. I arrived there a few hours later and after a long labor (and one whole hour of pushing!) Tali gave birth to her beautiful baby girl at 5:45 am. Watching my only sister in labor was very emotional for me. It's so hard seeing someone you love in so much pain and not being able to do anything about it. Also, I've never before witnessed a live birth and I have to say - it truly is a MIRACLE! I was amazed. I'm so grateful I was able to be there with them. Inoke was such a great coach and Tali was so strong. It was a truly beautiful experience! She's named after Inoke's grandma and mine and Tali's aunty. She has a ton of black hair and her looks kinda pull the Hafoka side. She's absolutely precious.

Congratulations your girls are so darling! So so so precious BABY HUNGRY over here lol!
Congrats Tali and Inoke! She's a beauty! And how fun, she has a cousin so close in age. :)
Thank you so much, Mary!
Those pictures are priceless.
How wonderful that you girls are going to be bringing up your daughters together.
They'll be more like sisters than cousins, don't you think?
It's all so beautiful, it makes me want to cry!!
I love you all so much!
HOORAY! I am so happy her water broke! For some reason that always seems the better way to go in my mind. My sister in law was in active labor for 12 hours at home before they would let her into the hospital and give her an epideral. I am so happy amalani is healthy and here. She is gorgeous! Wish I could have stayed longer at the shower - it was so much fun!
Oh my goodness, too precious! Congratulations to Tali. I need to watch a live birth too, lol.
