IT'S A BOY!!! Our little Emma turned out to be our little Ethan! Ethan Robert Berrett was born August 24, 2009 at 5:02 P.M. He weighed 7 lbs 15.2 oz and was 20" long. Such a perfect baby! He's been home for almost a week now and we love having him in our home and as part of our family.
He slept quite a bit at the hospital, and wouldn't even wake up for feedings! But the second we walked in the door of our apartment, his eyes flew open and he started investigating his new digs. :) Since then, he still sleeps all the time, but he wakes up every 2-3 hours so he can eat and have his diaper changed. Heavenly Father must have known that I needed a baby like this to transition into motherhood. :)
He had his 1 week apointment a few days ago and the doctor said his jaundice levels are going down and we're oretty sure it is gone altogether now. He is back to his birth weight and then some: 7 lbs 15.7 oz.
Ethan came out with curly strawberry blonde hair, but it has since turned more blonde. His eyes were dark blue in the hospital with a little bit of brown around the iris, making them look almost violet! I'm not sure what color they are now because he sleeps so much! He's a beautiful baby boy and we are very glad he is here and part of this family!
