Welcome Ethan!

Ethan Joseph Baima was born on Monday, May 14, at 10:56 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs 12 oz (compared to Olivia's 7 lbs 11 1/2 oz) and is 20 inches long (compared to Olivia's 20 1/2 inches). He was eager to come into this world with a 3 hour labor (thank you epidural) and a 10 minute delivery. Absolutely no complaints from me! We stayed in the hospital for 2 days, despite the terrible beds, and came home on Wednesday to face the reality of being parents to 2 kids!

Olivia and Ethan meet for the first time. On Monday, Olivia was very possessive of Ethan, not "allowing" anyone but her to hold him. She loves to "beep" his nose and look at his tiny feet. By the second day she had eased up on her restrictions, but continues to be fascinated by his every move and sound.


Our new family! No comments on the Pepto Bismal gowns they have me wear in the hospital - I think that they are older than I am.

Lots of love from big sister Olivia.

Time for Ethan's close up!

Going home in style!

Exchanging sibling presents.

Love to Ethan.
