Good news, Great news! Ethan Update

Ethan is growing. Megan took him this last week to Dr. Roscoe's office and he weighed in at 5 pounds 11.5 oz, up from 5 pounds, 1 oz just less than 2 weeks ago. He measured at 18.5 in so he's also getting a little taller. Our little peanut is growing and I'm sure pretty soon we'll look back and wish for this nice teeny-tiny baby again.

Yesterday we got great news from Dr. Roscoe's office. As some of you know, Ethan had a positive test on his newborn screen. The screen is performed within the first 48 hours an infant is alive and tests for about 30 different diseases based on what state you live in. Ethan was positive for one of them so they always do a second test which is a better test to look into it more conclusively. After waiting for what seemed like forever, his test came back negative. Since I'm the compusive anxious type, this has really set my mind at ease.

Today we're going to the Pearl Christmas Party in New Albany and its our first big trip. We'll be gone all day so we'll see how Ethan and mom/dad hold up. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
