It's a very long story, but Ethan James was born on the 5th at 2:31 pm. 20.5 inches long, 9 pounds, 1 oz! Despite being larger than Shane was, he's a little peanut! I can't imagine what it would be like to have a "average" size baby because he's so itty bitty to me!
I did not get to VBAC, but that's okay. He never would have come out that way. The cord was wrapped around his neck and then looped back over his shoulder again like a seatbelt, so he was basically tied up high in my uterus.
I'm keeping his birth announcement off of Facebook for a little longer. I have sweet but pushy family I'm trying to keep from descending on the hospital until I feel up to it. My recovery is better than with Shane, but I've still been vomiting every time I move. I'm going to try to upload a picture:
Happy Birthday Ethan! Congratulations, Hi! Here's hoping you feel better very soon. Post more pics when you can. We can't wait to see more of the newest member of ML!
