00:00He's a brand new baby, he's about a month old, and his name is Jamoki, and you probably saw him on mom's tummy.
00:21She was carrying him, and he's clinging real well. She still has to support him a little bit, and she kind of had to move him around
00:29so that she could gather up those grapes. They're doing great. Mom is just an amazing mother, and Jamoki is a very strong little boy,
00:37and they're both doing everything right, so we're just thrilled with how things are going.
00:43So we started doing ultrasound training with Mahali so we could get some images of the baby.
00:47First, we actually started with her presenting her belly up to the bars.
00:51To get her ready for the ultrasound, we used deodorant stick and actually a wooden dowel to get her used to different equipment touching her belly.
00:57At first, she was a little unsure, but she got used to it pretty quickly, and so we were confident to bring in the ultrasound equipment.
01:03But we actually were able to get some footage of the baby. We were able to see the heart rate.
01:07We actually saw the baby kick quite a few times. It was very exciting.
01:11Actually, the first time we brought the equipment in, I did not think we were going to get an image.
01:15I thought it was going to be just to get her used to the equipment, and the first time we put the probe up, we actually saw the baby.
01:21I thought it was too far in my way, though. There you go. Good job.
01:27He's doing great. He's a month old. He's really, really alert, super healthy.
01:31He's starting to try to reach out, and Mom is taking excellent care of him.
01:36At this age, they have a really good grip, so he holds onto Mom's belly.
01:41He doesn't have any teeth yet. He'll be getting those soon.
01:44But he just holds onto Mom as she travels, and that lets her hands be free so she can do what she needs to do.
