A child is born

We received wonderful news in February that a child would be joining our home sometime in October. My wife and I wanted to be surprised as to the gender of this child, so we anxiously awaited the for the nine months to pass. In September, my wife told me that her intuition led her to believe the child was a boy. She crotcheted a blue hat and bought boy outfits in anticipation of the big day. Our baby finally arrived on October the 13th at 4:30 p.m. (MST). The baby weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 inches long. After thorough examination, the baby was pronounced to be healthy and normal - and yes, it was a little boy. We will name him Ethan.

Only a day old and already a charmer.
