Update on Baby Ethan....

9:30 am:  Cindy, Shawn's Mom (Kelly's Mother in Law), just called me from the hospital.  She said Kelly is already at 8 centimeters and NO EPIDURAL!!!  She is hanging on strong and the Doctors say she mine as well keep going since she has been through the worst.  It sounds like Ethan might be here before lunch????

11:00 am:  Cindy just text and said Kelly is almost to 10 centimeters.  He will probably be here by 12 pm.

1:27 pm:  Last update before I head to Calvert Memorial... I just spoke with Becky (Kelly's sister). She said Kelly got to 9 centimeters and stopped.  The Doctors thought the baby may be to big to fit down the canal.  They ended up having to give her a c-section.  That is where Kelly is now.  Becky said they were waiting for Shawn to come out with Ethan.  Please continue to pray for their new family. Especially Kelly as she heals. 

Welcome Baby Ethan!  I got to the hospital around 2:45 and Kelly was in the recovery room feeding Ethan.  He is so precious and Ethan and Kelly are doing well.  Both Shawn and Kelly are complete naturals at being parents.  It is so cute to watch the both of them work together to meet Ethan's needs.

Here are a few pictures that I got with my phone camera:
Ethan Tyler Murphy
8 lbs 1oz, 19 1/2 inches long


I think he looks so much like Shawn.  I am so happy for Kelly and Shawn and cannot wait to watch Ethan grow up.
