Naccccccchooooo Libre...
changing right before my eyeballs...
goof ball!
Christmas 2009...My second son, Ethan James, will turn FIFTEEN at 9:20 p.m. tonight...I was in labor for 2 days, on and off. I walked the mall, I took weird herbs, I watched movies, I cried, I thought he'd NEVER come. I also thought he was a girl (see? my hunches have never been right)
Finally, on Wednesday evening, February 14th, 1996, after Taco Bell and other fun midwife-taught techniques, while everyone was at Wednesday night prayer meeting, Ethan's labor sped up. Water broke at 9 p.m.
Midwife showed up right as that happened...after some quick pushing, Ethan, my second smallest baby of the five, came squalling into a cold Indiana winter.
I couldn't believe it was another boy...but I'm soooo very glad that I had another son so close to Will's age. Buddies for Life, and I can tell you, it's true. they scuffle and bicker but it rocks that they are support for each other.
Ethan James Young
Wednesday, February 14, 1996
7 lbs 12 ounces
20 inches.
He was almost a pound smaller than Will...I kept thrilling over how tiny he was and the midwife said that 7/12 was bigger than the average newborn. Wow...pave the way, Will (who was 8/11)
Anyways, I'm feeling very nostalgic right now...recalling this day 15 years ago...
Tonight, Ethan will be at Karate with Levi. Tomorrow night, we will have his birthday party with family.
I love you, E. You are such an awesome, upright young man of God. I love that you look like a mix of Young and a Greenhill. I hope this is a memorable and joyful birthday for you, for next year, you can get a job. Happy 15th to ya :)
Ha ha. Happy Monday everybody.

Happy Birthday, Ethan! What a delightful day for a birthday. Sure hope that you had a nice day and will have an AWESOME party tomorrow.
Hi Laurie! How'd the party go? Hope you are feeling ok. Are you past the morning sickness yet? We are all doing well here. Trying to get ready for little Miss Wilhite to come (boy that sounds SO wierd!! Malachi says he dreams almost every night that when she is born, she is a boy!) I think....surely after this many ultrasounds and times we've checked, we right...right? ;)
Hope you have a great week!
((hugs))
