Baby Carter

My little sister just gave birth to a beautiful little boy on Monday November 16th. He was due in late December (I'm not sure exact date). She had moved home to be close to Dr. Brown. She went to see him(Dr. Brown) and he told her it would be best for her to go up north to see a specialist. Thank Heaven he sent her when he did. She was suffering from severe pre-eclampsyia and wasn't doing very well. They admitted her on Friday and she had him on Monday. It was really hard for me to see my little sister in that position. She was so weak and couldn't even open her eyes at one point in time. She was so tired and just didn't feel good. She was in a lot of pain and one point in time she said to me, "Jodi, I just don't want to die. What if I die?" I told her she wasn't going to die and that everything was going to work out...she just needed to have faith in the blessings that she had received. On Monday I stayed with her until about 4:00pm. I told her I needed to go feed Tevon and I would be back by 6:00pm. Well, while I was out eating and feeding Tevon Ralph texted me and told me that they were going to have him. So, I dropped Tevita and the kids off at the hotel and before I even got to the hospital(3 blocks) I got the first picture of my little nephew. He weighed 2 lbs 9 oz and was 15 1/2 inches long. He is doing so great! He hasn't even had to have any oxygen on. He is under the bili lights and not liking to eat but other than that he is doing great. Ralph and Jaquel are doing well. I'm so proud of all of them and can't wait until they can bring the little guy home! Love you guys!
