Eva Longoriais counting her blessings.
Six days after the actress and husbandJosé “Pepe” Bastónwelcomed their first child together, sonSantiago Enrique, she is sharing a heartfelt message of gratitude for the medical staff who helped make his first few days (not to mention Longoria’s first few days as a mom!) safe and comfortable.
Longoria confirmed toHola!last week that her son had arrived, with the outlet reporting Santiagoweighed in at 6 lbs., 13 oz.upon his arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Though Santiago isthe first child for Longoria,the new addition has some solid older-sibling guidance: He joins Bastón’s three children from a previous marriage.
