Introducing David "Ethan" Harris...
My sister, Kara, holding her first child, Ethan - Isn't he just the cutest?
Love at first sight
The proud Daddy!
My sister, Kara, had her baby this morning at 11:26 a.m. He weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 19 inches. Ethan and Mommy are doing just fine! I can't believe my little sister is a MOM!! I talked at length with Kara tonight and overall her delivery was really good. Her water broke around 11:30 p.m. last night so Kara, Daniel, my Mom and Daniel's parents all made the 30 mile trek into town to the hospital. She got her epidural at some point early this morning. She did have to push for about 3 hours before Ethan finally made his appearance. My mom was able to be in the delivery room with Kara and Daniel. Everyone was pretty exhausted after the night without sleep but they are all doing great.
Keith and my Dad are on their way to Midland even as we speak. They already had a Labor Day weekend trip planned to go down and help Daniel and Kara with some projects at their house. Little did we know that Ethan would arrive a little bit early (Kara was scheduled to be induced on September 3rd). So, needless to say, I am a bit jealous that Keith will get to see and hold little Ethan before I do! I sent our video camera down with him as well as our good camera. I'm hoping he gets some really pictures of Ethan that we can show the kids. They are very excited about their new cousin. They just loved these pictures of Ethan. I have a plane ticket to Midland for September 16th but it will be difficult to wait that long. I want to get my hands on that little guy! He is absolutely adorable!
Thank you all for your prayers for this long awaited miracle from the Lord! We are all so thankful and blessed! I am sure they will be posting more pictures on their blog in the coming days:
