Our Ethan Alexander has arrived! He was born on July 22nd, 2018 at 2:58AM. He weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and measured 19 1/4 inches. Our delivery experience was completely different than Harper's. We waited and waited for Ethan to come on his own, but at 40+5 weeks, we decided to move ahead with an elective induction (it would have been indicated two days later anyway). It was a strange feeling driving to the hospital to have a baby without contractions! It almost felt like a date night at first - just Alex and I, watching a movie without Harper. With only just seven hours of pitocin, one epidural and two pushes later we met the newest member of our family! Ethan is the most beautiful baby (other than Harper of course) who enjoys nothing more than sleeping all day and eating all night. His beautiful blonde locks are the talk of any room we walk into. Big sister Harper was able to meet him the day he was born. She has been such a great helper with diaper changes. We are so thankful for all of the family who have helped us this week watching Harper, arranging meals and providing us with all the support in the world. We are loving being a family of four!

We are in love with his hair!
We had an amazing view from our postpartum room. I felt like we were staying in a penthouse suite!

First diaper change!
Big sister Harper and baby brother Ethan! She has been so sweet and gentle with him. She worries about this umbilical "boo boo".
We loved our door decor.
On the way home!
