SPECIAL delivery!

BABY ETHAN HAS ARRIVED!!!!


Although my c-section was planned for today, Baby Ethan wanted to meet us early on Tuesday morning. My water broke just before 2am and we were off to the hospital.  My life changed FOREVER in less than four hours later. Ethan was born at 547am and totally captured our hearts from the second that we laid our eyes onto the promise that we've waited for.  Believe me when I say, he is PERFECT in every way.


I think I need another heart to contain the love I feel for him. Until I get another heart, the one that I have seems to be expanding nicely. Not only did I fall in love with Ethan, I fell MORE in love with my husband, which I didn't think was possible.  Seeing Chris love on Ethan did something to me that I can't fully explain.  Seening him BE a Daddy is just "right".  Chris melts like butter every time Ethan is in his arms.  I am so proud of my boys & I love them more than words could describe.

When I have time, I'll write the birth story.  We have been OVERWHELMED with love from family, friends, and complete strangers. Ethans life serves are more than just a blessing to us. His existance has touched more lives and emcouraged more people that we will ever meet.  We had hospital workers who remembered us from our prior visits come into our room just to celebrate & cry with  us. 


Totally in love!!!!
