I would like to introduce everyone to my new baby boy, Ethan David! He was born at 1:10 AM on March 31st, after 20 hours of mind bogglingly painful drug free labor. He was 7lbs 2oz, and about 2 weeks early. There were zero complications, thankfully. I brought him home from the hospital just three hours ago!
Interesting facts to note!
He's blonde. If you knew me, you'd know that's pretty f'ing odd. Suffice to say that neither of us are.
He's blue eyed, which isn't out of the ordinary for babies. But they are getting more pronouncedly blue by the hour.
In fact, it's fair to say that he looks absolutely nothing like either of his parents, except his little button nose and his whiny disposition! But he's sure cute, right!?
He does not sound like a human being at all, he sounds like a combination of a chittering chipmunk and some sort of tongueless alien.
This is him sleeping! I know! Super interesting! (look at those chubby cheeks)
This, regrettably, is his normal disposition. Don't let his compact build fool you, the sheer volume of his voice is frightening.
This is him decked out for the drive home. You can't see, but he has flourescent green mittens with "BLING" emblazoned on them, one in gold and one in glitter. Just look at his face and you'll know that he's well aware that he's pimpin' big.

These are just out of the couple that we snapped while we were waiting for the doc before we took him home. There's going to be more pictures, but my mother and my doula (aka hippy sidekick) conspired to steal every camera in the room and have them developed before I had a chance to sort and censor them. Don't worry, you won't have to see these banned photos, they are likely all both obscene and terrible.
