Clone

This is a photo of Ethan sitting next to a photo taken almost 4 years ago with Emma (she was one week old). It is hard to see, but if you click on the photo you will see how much sister and brother look alike... scary!! Emma had a bit bigger feet and hands and her face seemed to be a bit more round, but the same hair line, facial features and expressions!!

I wanted to blog more photos, but Mr. Blogger is not cooperating... he says there is an error and the photo can not be posted.

Sometimes Mr. Blogger really ticks me off (does this problem only happen to me or have some of you experienced this as well?)!

Going Home

Ethan seemed pretty content and peaceful in this photo, considering he just got circumcised approximately 30 minutes before!! Dann went into the room with the doctor and watched the procedure. Dann was fascinated by the doctor's work and even took photos (I will spare you of those)!

Below is Ethan's going home outfit... not that you can make it out, but there are little tractors, trucks and cars all over his top and bottoms!

Too cute... thanks Grandma B for buying him such a sweet little boy outfit!!

We were just about to leave the hospital when we snapped this photo of Ethan in his car seat. Dann and I were so surprised, because when we placed him in the car seat, he never cried. In fact, Ethan quite liked it!! This was a treat because Emma cried EVERY single time we put her in there (yes 4 1/2 months of non-stop crying in the car). Needless to say, Dann and I enjoyed our drive home from the hospital... in silence!!

For the first couple of days it was hard to get a photo with Ethan's eyes open, but we managed to snap this one shortly after arriving home. I guess Ethan was wanting to see his new home!!

Welcome to the World

OUR BIG BABY BOY HAS ARRIVED!!

Ethan Daniel was born October 16th, 2006

Weighing in at 10lbs 8ozs, 21.5 inches long

Overall, everything went well (I only used a few bad words near the end). I begged the nurses for morphine, but I was denied. I told them I could not push Ethan out... they assured me I could.

Dann was a bit surprised when my potty mouth came out to play, but I did not scream anything loud etc... more under my breath and I apologized to the nurses and doctor after Ethan was out.

Dann was a great coach and the end result was worth it!!

I love baby feet!!

Ethan and Emma at birth looked surprisingly alike!! Ethan has a bit more hair and it is dark brown/black, unlike Emma's burgandy locks!

Needless to say, big sister is "soooo" excited about her baby brother, she could hardly contain herself!

My Brown Eyed Girl

I think that song (Brown Eyed Girl) was written especially for my little girl!! Emma truly has amazing brown eyes, and I am not just saying that because I am bias! Dann took these photos and Emma was just hammin' it up for the camera.

I wish we had something to Blog about, but not just yet. Soon we will have too much to tell you about... we are all just patiently waiting for the big moment.
