WELCOME ETHAN JOHN HUNT!!!!

Ethan was born at 8:12am this morning June 28, 2008. He weighed in at 3 lbs, 13 oz. and is a tad under 18 inches long. We was born at 32 weeks and 5 days. Pretty dark hair and I think blue eyes - at least for now.

Even though he came out early, he came out crying which is the best sign for a premie. The doctors are astonished that he did not need any oxygen after birth. At this point he is in the NICU (neo-natal intensive care) and will stay there for a while. How long is a while? Not sure as of yet, but the first nurse taking care of him gave a wild guess of two weeks.

Here are some pictures about two minutes after birth and just before he took his first car/incubator ride.

Obviously more news to follow.
