Ethan David Thompson has joined the family!

A few notes, and then some pictures!

Ethan David Thompson joined us after Sarah went through a pretty successful labor. The problem came when she pushed for 3 hours and he wasn't budging.

It turned out that he was facing the sky (the nose is supposed to point the other way). This meant his 15 inch head wasn't going to make it the "normal" way (you read that right...14 inches is considered large already).

So Ethan David joined us via c-section, and it turned out he was 10 lbs 1 oz!! Whoah! Very surprising! The doctor had guessed he'd be 8 lbs.

Here are some pictures...

Showing him to Sarah for the first time...

Is "Oma" German for grandma? Probably a lot easier for a child to say anyhow. :) Also the "kissing mama" pic...too much, too much (meaning - too sweet for words).
