One Week Old

Ethan Hesham Abdel Rahman Hanafi Mohamed

For those of you who were asking about his full name, there it is. Ethan is such a good baby and as far as I can tell he loves to eat, sleep and be held. Shocker. It is wonderful to have a baby again, though I forgot how fun it was to lug around a diaper bag and change a blowout when you are trying to get out the door. The kids love to hold him and have adjusted fairly well. Thank you to all of you for your well wishes and love. It is wonderful to have such supportive family and friends.

I think everyone looks great considering we've been awake all night.

The rest of the family came to see the new addition later that day

Going home...

It's a Boy!!!

Welcome, Ethan Mohamed

Well, it finally happened. Jacqueline went to the hospital at 8:30pm on Tuesday to be induced and was in labor through the night (yes, that was cruel) and give birth to a healthy 7 pound 7 ounce boy at 6:11am Wednsday, 4/2/08. He is 19 inches long and has blond hair under that cap. His name is Ethan and has been a very mellow baby. And believe me, that's a welcome trait as the fourth child. Our resident bLogger will resume her post when she recovers. We love you and thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
