The birth of the newest member of the Fuji family

by Fuji Mama (Rachael) on January 27, 2009

Hi, this is Mr. Fuji posting in behalf of Fuji Mama today. Yesterday at 11:41AM, Little Fuji was born. We got to the hospital at 9:00 and waited for a bit while the nurse got Fuji Mama ready for the c-section.

At around 11ish, Fuji Mama was rolled into the operating room where the anesthesiologist got her ready with a spinal tap. Then, they brought me in and I sat by her while they performed the operation. Minutes later, out came Little Fuji crying. She weighed 7 lbs, 0.4 oz. and was a little over 18 inches long.

Here is Little Fuji right after they cleaned her up a bit and where I got the chance to hold her while we were waiting for Fuji Mama to be stiched up.

She looks a lot like Squirrel when she was born!

Fuji Mama with Little Fuji. She looks good doesn’t she?

The whole family with their new member!

Squirrel was sure cute with her……….
