Welcome Baby.... Ethan James Rice


What happened?

Wednesday 3/6/13 Laura started Bleeding in the middle of the night.
Went to hospital. Plecenta Previa was the ailment.
She spent almost 6 days in the hospital.
She went home Tuesday the 12th. 
The plan was to be on bed rest until 3/22/13 and they would do a C Section at 37 weeks.
Her body decided different. Wednesday the 13th, close to midnight she started bleeding again.
Back to the hospital. She had a C Section and Ethan James Rice was Born at 241a on 3/14/13.
Everyone is doing fine. He was 36 weeks so they put him in the NICU. His oxygen is fine but he needs a little pressure to help with breathing. 

On Deck and ready for prep. The girl on the left was a friend of Laura's in middle school. 



About 2 minutes old


I was with Ethan the entire time. Of corse it wasn't much fun watching him get stuck multiple times while they tried to get a vein. At one point there were 6 people caring after him.


After a few minutes in recovery, they wheeled Laura in on the stretcher to NICU so she could see him.


Grabbing ahold of my finger. 



We had a few visitors today. Grandma and Grandpa Dennis, Aunt Pam and Great Grandma (pictured) and Grandma and Grandpa Rice.


Later in the evening Laura got to hold him again. She was obviously happy.

Day one was a long day and we are both tired. Adrenalin is starting to wear off.
