Details on the new kid:
Name: Ethan Maxwell
Born: 6/17/07 at 2:42pm
Weight: 7lbs, 14oz
Length: 21"
Catchup on the first week.
Pretty well all things considered, he had some gas bubbles the first few nights and we, naturally, had no gas drops. Result... us thumping his back and flipping him through any number of contorted posistions trying to get said bubbles up or out so we could all get some sort of rest. About this time we also discovered he's very hot natured. The kid absolutly HATES socks and the fastest way to get him to pitch a fit was to swaddle him up in a blanket, still is by the way.
Left the hospital on Tuesday morning, home without incident (he seems to really like car rides, not a peep out of him yet). First week was all visitors and trying to get everyone settled and get some sort of a routine started.
Next up was a checkup on Friday. Went fine though we didnt realize there was a "newborn" room which was quieter. Not that it mattered he slept through the whole wait in spite of the noise. Weight wise he had been down 8oz when we left the hospital on Tues, he'd already picked 2 back up by Friday, not too shabby.
I'll have some pics up a bit later.

Beau - your third cousin, Ethan Ryan Butts (Your Aunt Catherines' grandson), was born on June 4th, 1993 and weighed 7lb 14 oz! Is that not cool - same name - same month - same weight!! My Ethan is awesome, and I know yours will be too. Enjoy every second!
I just noticed the length, I am not certain about my Ethan, I will have to look that one up, but I am thinking he was 21 inches too. It is funny - you think that you will NEVER forget that information, but after 14 years .....
