First doctor visit

He checked out completely healthy just needed to make sure he was eating enough. This included waking him up to eat every 2-3 hours. As a nursing mom all I was doing was nursing, pumping, rocking & changing him all day long. Then he didn't want to nurse so went to exclusively pumping. He has even learned the sound of the pump. 

Home with the puppies

As you can see he really interrupted their daily routine of lounging around. They are not very fond of others being around their brother sometimes not even daddy. Gunner thinks he needs to bathe him every 5 minutes. Bruiser was a little unsure at first but is sloooooowly showing him some love. 

Proud Grandparents

Happy, Happy, Happy

Who knew our lives were incomplete before him. Nothing beats the happiness a baby can bring. He stole mommy & daddy's hearts immediately. 

Who does he look like?

The love of our lives!

Ethan Stanley Engelbach born at 10:04 am on February 1, 2013. He was 6 lbs 14 ozs & 20 inches long. He was delivered via c-section at 37 weeks since I was having pre-eclampsia symptoms. Delivery was quick took longer to set me up & prep then to remove Ethan & suture me back up. Due to the neurological symptoms of pre-eclampsia we spent the first day in L&D since I was on a magnesium drip. Symptoms Diminished & we were moved the next day to the mother, baby floor. My nurse there was angry that I didn't need her help moving around. Note to moms that have c-sections yes move around as soon as possible but take it easy. Due to me taking it to quick the puncture from the epidural was not able to close causing extreme pain.
