Update on me and baby Ethan's arrival

[lisa d.]

Hi, all. The last time I posted was on 11/5 after I had visited L&D the night before for high bp readings. Well, the issue has resolved itself since then. On the afternoon of 11/5, my water broke and I went into labor. We headed for L&D, bp readings were fine, finally got in for my c-section (under general anesthesia, sadly) and Ethan Spencer was delivered at 12:07am on 11/6. He weighed 7lb11oz, was 19.75" long and is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks to everyone for holding my hand through the PIH scares and thank goodness pre-e did not become an issue. If anyone would like to check him out you can see him and the rest of the family at
