Ethan James Dormody

Well Ethan decided to come a few weeks early! My water broke when I got out of the shower Wed night at 9:30pm. We went into the hospital where they gave me pitosin since my contractions really had not started yet.



After an hour I got an epidural (pitosin is NOT fun!!!), from there we were on the fast track. The epidural was great because I did not feel a thing.

I dialated from 3cm to 10cm in only one hour. Then I pushed for 1 hour then the the baby's heart rate dropped. So the doctors decided to help him out little bit with the forceps. They did a really good job because he came out with no bruises.



Ethan measured 7 pounds 9.5 oz

20 1/4 inches long



The hospital stay has been really good, lots of visitors:

My mom, Mike and Grandma Shirlee
My dad and Julie
Fran
Stuart and Adrienne
Chelsea and Issac
Mike and Trista Gravenish
Jess Johnston

We got home at 3:00 on Saturday. Got everything situated and organized. It feels good to finally be home as a family. The dog and cats are adjusting really well. Ethan is currently napping as I write. I cannot believe what a good baby he is! We have to wake him up in order to feed him, he sleeps all the time and rarely fusses.

We have taken many pictures, which I will post soon.......when I have a little more time and not as tired.
We already go in for a couple of baby appointments, one on Mon and one on Tues.


I will keep you posted!
