I know I'm biased, but...he's so cute!

I find myself saying that all the time but I really believe it. Those of you who know me well know that I am not a baby lover but I'm being converted! It's the oddest sensation. I have totally fallen head over heels for our little guy, Ethan. Here's the story: I came in yesterday to get induced. They gave me pitocin at 9, epidural at 10, broke my water at noon, and then the wait set in because I simply wasn't progressing. I was still a 6 at 7:30 but then I had him before 8:30. Crazy! I went from a 6 to a 10 in about a half hour and the stinky part was there was a kink in my epidural so I actually felt the "10" for about a half hour. It wasn't fun...we'll just leave it at that. The extra boost of epidural they gave me started in on the first push and by push #2 he was out batting and blinking his eyes like crazy before he was even out!! The delivery part was so much easier than Coop's! Jake got to cut the umbilical cord and then they laid him right on me and I was sold. His eyes were wide open and he was just looking at me, not crying, just staring, it was so cool! That's what sold me. He came out at 7 lbs 6 oz, 20 inches on 12/30/2008 and some serious cuteness. So far he's been a pretty vicious eater but waking up every 2 hours to do so. I had the nurses take him for a little last night and feed him a bottle so I actually got some shut eye inbetween blood drawing and medicine popping and vital taking. You know how it is! Anyhow, I wanted to share our little love with everyone while he's away being nipped and tucked. We'll keep you all updated!
