HE HAS ARRIVED!

On Friday April 23, 2010 at 3:08 pm Ethan Matthew Crooks was born in Idaho Falls, ID via "C" section. He is a healthy 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19 inches long. He has his mothers eyes and his fathers appetite. Mom is doing good, recovering quickly and already feeding him regularly. He hardly cries and sleeps most of the day. We love him and are excited to present him to the rest of his friends and family. Thank you all for you love and prayers.

3D Pic

So I finally decided to get on here and post a picture of the baby. This is a 3D one we took about a month ago. I still can't believe we are having a boy! We still don't have a name so let me know if you have any suggestions. Everytime I feel like we finally come up with the right one, I find myself not liking it three days later. Hopefully we will have a name when we arrive at the hospital.
Matt and I have been trying to get ready for the baby but the closer I get to my due date the harder it is to know where to start. There's just so much to do and so little time. He better not come to early! We have been going to birthing/parenting classes which have been a blast. The first class Matt had to put a pregnant suit on with twenty extra pounds. He had to bend over and tie his shoes and lay down and find a comfortable position etc... They had all the husbands try it on which was hilarious to watch! I totally got sympathy after that one! The next class we watched some birthing videos and looked at epidural kits. I had to chew on ice the whole time so I wouldn't pass out. Matt did great so I know he'll be a good partner to have around during delivery! I asked if I could opt to be put completely under and have a c-section but they assured me I would want to be present for the birth. hmmm... I still don't know about that. I'd love to just wake up with a beautiful baby in my arms but I don't think it's gonna be that easy.
