This is Ethan on his second day in the outside world. As you can see, he likes to sleep at the moment but we have a feeling that won't last for long of course ;-)

See, Joanne is very happy - we laughed a lot once he was out. What an incredible feeling and Joanne did so well. You can see from his footprints that his feet look rather large (must get that from me because Joanne's feets are tiny). You can see on the pink card that he was born on May 01 2007 at 2:08 pm. He weighed 3.704 kg (that's over 8lbs) so he is quite large!

He's already got a lot of hair! Even looks a little curly. When he was in Joanne's tummy, he always covered his face with his hand and you can see he still does it outside as well.

Some more pictures of Ethan just after being born. Take a look at those chubby cheeks and proof that he is a boy ;-) Also, you can see Mum is doing well, I'm very proud of her!
