Meeting Big Brother Isaac
Isaac has only been a big brother for about one week but so far so good. He is surprisingly interested in Ethan. He has asked to hold him a few times and he usually asks where Baby Ethan is right away when we walk into his room in the morning. I hope he continues to stay so happy about being a big brother.
Baby Ethan!
I was starting to wonder if our baby was ever going to arrive. After I hit my due date, I become increasingly inpatient. We were so excited to find out if we were going to have another little boy or a little girl.
My water broke at 1:30 am on Tuesday, August 5th. It was very similar to the beginning of labor with Isaac when my water broke at 1:45 am. We called Mimi and had her come over to care for Isaac. Alex and I made it to the hospital around 3 am. Luckily, contractions started naturally on their own and I did not need to have Pitocin to speed up the process.
Ethan David Gore was born at 9:26 am on Tuesday, August 5th. He was 8 lbs 7.5 ounces and 20 inches long. Wow, he was about one pound heavier than I thought he would be. I was pretty convinced we were having another boy but I thought he would be between 7.5 and 8 pounds. Ethan was four days late and Isaac was six days late but Isaac only weighed 6 lbs 12 ounces. I could not believe the size of Ethan.
He fits into a few newborn outfits but those are going to be short lived. He dropped to just over 8 lbs before we left the hospital but I think that is going to be his lowest weight. He is already eating like a champ just like his big brother.
I was also pleasantly surprised how much easier the second delivery and recovery was compared to the first.
We have been home for a few days now and are adjusting to having two children. We are so blessed.
Here are some links to the blog posts from when Isaac was born. I think the boys are going to look quite similar!
