Well I thought that I would update you on what's been going on in our family. On the 23rd of December at 4:26pm we received the best Christmas present ever, Ethan James was born. He weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He came out very healthy and nursed right away and hasn't stopped since. He's grown now to be 7lbs 14oz on the 5th of January and I'm sure more than that now. He's a very good nurser and a pretty good baby. We only hear from him when he has a really poopy diaper or he wants to eat which normally happens pretty quickly after the other.
Alexa is adjusting quite well. She is constantly wanting to hold and hug and kiss Ethan. We let her do this with supervision of course because she thinks that she's a big girl now. We're trying to give her as much attention as possible and keep things normal. It's been a blessing in disguise that Jim is on temporary layoff because of the weather, this means that he's been home with us since before Ethan was born. It makes it easier for both kids to get the attention that they need and deserve. He's been keeping busy here at home and with hunting and now shoveling all the snow.
Well if things go as expected I'm planning on being home until the middle of March before returning to my job at the clinic full time. Well I hope that the holidays were great for everyone and that God is blessing you all.
