Still have not found a chance to copy over the old posts and videos, but we do have two new videos of Ethan.
This one is of us trying to feed him for the first time with real food, rice stuff of some kind. It didn’t go well, lots of spitting out.
Ethan has recently found his toes. Apparently he has not figured out what to use them for, so he has decided that they are used the same way his thumbs are used, for sucking on. Kristin calls this his “blackmail” video for when he’s in his teens to keep him under control.
We have a little toy that you can pull the rope and it vibrates. We realized that each time Ethan feels it vibrating, he starts laughing. Enjoy the video.
I also added a new video category, so that you can easily see all the video posts.
Here’s another video we took of him kicking in his chair. I’ve been working on getting the videos converted over to look better on this site, so let me know how you think it turned out.
House front, we’re still cleaning whenever we get time, which is very very rarely with Ethan. We’re doing a full cleaning, washing every wall and baseboard. I think right now we have two fully completely rooms and the other rooms just needs to be wiped down or slightly picked up. All the touch up painting and fixing is done.
I took a video of Ethan this morning when I woke him up. I’m trying to figure out a good way to post this video, so it might change at times or not work at all.
Ethan’s doing good and getting bigger. He’s also growing a lot of hair and will be surpassing Daddy soon on amount of hair. We’ve had a ton of pictures lately, but haven’t really put them up. I managed to get three different days of photos up in our gallery and have a ton on cd I still need to put up.
We’ve also decided that it’s a good time to move this year, so we’ve been cleaning the house constantly. That’s one of the reason posts have been scarce lately. We’ve decided we want to move up to the West Chester or Mason area. Hopefully we’ll be able to get the house listed next week and sold soon.
James Ethan Whitt was born on Sunday, 10/4/09 at 1:35PM weighing 7 pounds and 4.4 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. Everybody is happy and healthy and doing good.
After a long labor, there were complications which required Ethan being delivered by c-section. Kristin is in very good spirits currently.
I think we finally for the most part got the baby registries together. We’ve registered at Target, Babies “R” Us, and Baby Depot (which is in Burlington Coat Factory). I’ve included the links on the right site of our blog to that leads directly to our registry. We ask that you print out the registry and take it with you in case your purchase anything. This helps so that the numbers are updated so that multiples aren’t purchased.
Besides that, Kristin is doing fine. We are going to Becoming Mom Spa tonight to get some ultrasounds done of our own. They have one of those 4D Ultrasound machines (don’t even get me started on how it should be called 3d), so we’re going to get more detailed images, which I will be posting on the site.
I was laying in bed this morning trying to wake up and Ethan started moving a bunch. I haven’t felt him moving on the outside yet so I thought I’d put my hand on my stomach and see it if I could feel it. I could! James came over and after about 30 seconds Ethan moved again. James got a quizzical look on his face and said he thought he felt it. Then Ethan kicked again and we both felt it. James’ response – “That just feels creepy…” haha. I’m super excited that James can finally feel him now!!
We had a regular doctor’s appointment last week and everything is fine. Ethan’s heartbeat sounds normal and the doc said he’s doing good. We set up my next appointment for five weeks from now. I’m supposed to drink the yummy drink for the glucose test for that appointment. I should also get my rhogam shot that day too. Two weeks after that we have another ultrasound so the technician can check a few things she couldn’t see well before.
I just finished up scanning the ultrasound pictures. I’m barely able to see anything, kind of looks like tv static to me. You can click each of the images to see the larger picture of them.
We went to the doctor this morning to get our ultrasound (21 weeks) and find out if we’re having a puppy. (Inside joke..sorry..haha) Soooo…we’re having a BOY!!! James Ethan looks healthy and everything is growing normally. We are getting another ultrasound done at about 30 weeks to see if the placenta has moved up from where it is. There’s a chance I may have to have a C-section if it doesn’t move up.
James is going to be putting up our pictures soon so you can see what Ethan looks like so far. He was laying sideways so it was a little harder for the technician to see everything and get good pictures, but you can see his face and feet in some of the pictures.
