Sleepy Boy

We went in to be induced on the 29th early in the morning. 39 weeks and 1 day gestation. I was afraid that we might have a big kid, however I didn't anticipate 9 pounds! Things went fairly uneventful despite the fact that the epidural didn't work. He was healthy and came in a hurry when the time came. His little face was a bit bruised and his eyes were really blood shot from the quick birth! That night my dear friends brought Bryton, C.L, and Darci to meet their little brother. Darci was "proud" as she would say. C.L.'s eyes got rather large when his brother was placed in his arms. Bryton of course was immediately in love with her little brother. We spent two nights at the hospital so that the pediatrician could monitor Ethan for jaundice. All was well and we were released to go home!

Life at home has been eventful and quite an adjustment. Aunt Rachel volunteered to take Darci for 5 days. Any other 3 year old might have problems with leaving mom and dad for that long, but not Darci. We have missed her little voice this last week, but I have enjoyed some of the silence and time to recover and adjust to having a little one again. Oh the things we forget!

We're so glad to have Ethan in our family!
