Pictures!

Here are the long awaited pictures of Ethan. We thought we would start with this nice picture. It was taken earlier today before he was hooked up to his feeding tube. Ethan has been doing great today. We were able to hold him and start to change his diapers (Rick got the dirty one) and change his clothes. He is on a feeding tube as he has not developed his suck reflex yet. He is also still on IV for the Nutrition that he needs.
Here is the 1st picture after he was born. We were able to hold him here for about 20 secs before they took him to get hooked up in the nursery. It looks like a sad picture here, but everything really helped him. Great Grandma came to visit today. He was doing great so we could get her in to hold him. He is resting in his little bed here.

Here is his home until he is ready to come home. It is 80 degrees in his cuddy.

Grandma came to visit too today.

Proud daddy doing great.

Missing Jakob in the family photo, but there are way too many plugs to unplug in the nursery. It would be very hazerdous to have him there right now. He did get to look at Ethan through the window.

Just resting in his bed.

Hoping I can go home tomorrow, it would be great to sleep in my own bed. Also I miss Jakob very much. However he is having lots of fun at Grandmas.

We will continue to post through the weekend.

Thanks again for all your support. Sorry it took so long to get you pictures.

Enjoy them.

Lots of Love,

Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
