it's a boy!!

We were instructed to arrive at Magee at 4:30. AM. Traffic is pretty light at 4:30 in the morning. We parked the car and walked into the ER entrance. They directed us to the second floor. After Beth registered, we were taken down the hall (ahead of a couple who was there before us, YES!) and shown into delivery room 3.

Beth’s OB/GYN stopped by around 6:30 to break her water. Things got pretty speedy from that point on. By 8:00 she had received her epidural and by about 9:45, she started preparing to push the baby out. At 10:12 AM on 04/05/06, 9lb 2 oz Ethan James came into the world. Dad nearly passed out.
