Introducing Marseille Emmanuel Varela!The Easter Bunny brought lil Baby D a new cousin just in time for Easter!! As many of you have already heard, Jenny and Obed welcomed their new baby girl into the world on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:45 pm. Marseille Emmanuelle Varela arrived with a big cry, weighing 8 lbs, 13 oz and measuring 21 inches. She's quite a big and beautiful baby!!
As luck would have it I was in San Diego for business when they induced my sister. So after my meetings I made it to the hospital just in time. I was able to hold little Marseille just 30 minutes after her birth and it was love at first site. I am so fortunate I was there with my family at such a joyous time.
Unfortunately, the baby contracted an infection and jaundice and had to be admitted into the NICU that night. But the doctors at Scripps have done an amazing job caring for her and she is getting stronger every day. Today, Easter Sunday, was the best day so far. Her jaundice is gone and her infection is leaving her little body. She is now eating well and really loves her food!! The doctors say she will make a full recovery and gets to come home on Saturday. Thank God! We are all so impressed with our feisty little fighter - she has such a great spirit already.
Here are a few pictures of the little bundle. She looks just like Jenny and is definitely a Sandoval. Marseille is so loved and we already can't remember what life was like without her! God has really blessed our family with a new baby and another just 3 months away!
Here I am already flexing my big muscles.
Me and mommy. I even look cute when I pout.
With my Auntie Jill and soon-to-be cousin Baby D.
Staring into my proud daddy's eyes.
