Ethan is home!

Ethan James was born on Wednesday, January 7. He weighed 8lb 1oz. and was 21.5 inches long. We went into the hospital around 5am and by 7 my water had broken. Things started moving pretty fast after that. Dr. Boling got concerned about our little man when his heart rate started decelerating at the wrong time, so he decided to help him out a little early with an emergency c-section. Everything went well and he came to see us at 9:04. We just got home today and everything is going great! I'm moving a little slow, but other than that I am feeling alright. Ben has been quite the proud papa. We are enjoying visiting grandparents, too.
Here are a couple of pictures!
