A Very Healthy Baby

We went in for Ethan's 2 month Dr. visit this afternoon and found out what we already knew -- that we have a very healthy baby! He weighed in at 15 lbs. 5 oz. (95%) and 23 1/2" long (65%). He's doing great. :) 10 weeks old tomorrow and in 6 month clothes already.

Ethan and Mommy

Ethan is such a precious baby. He is so beautiful to me and I am grateful to be his mother. -Today he is 2 months old. Doctor's visit and measurements are later this week so I'll keep you all posted on how well he's growing, but he's wearing 3 month clothes and occasionally 3-6 month outfits.



My primary class is practicing for our singing program this month and my kids love it because I bring Ethan with me to practice. They all want to hold him, but we'll wait until he's a little bit bigger first. :)

Too cute and crazy Caleb.



FYI: Caleb is being the Elephant brigade from Disney's Jungle Book movie in the back ground.

Ethan Glenn's Baby Blessing

We were pleased to bless our beautiful baby boy: Ethan Glenn Bly in church Sept. 25, 2011. Ethan has been such a joy to our family and particularly to me. He is such a good baby. Ethan Glenn is named after his Great Grandpa Darrell Glenn Long pictured below.

Towel Hair

Caleb's too silly towel hair.



Caleb continues to keep me running. His imagination has taken off and it's hard to keep up with all the role playing and craziness of this little man.

Better Late than Never: Baby Ethan Photos!

Baby Ethan at 3 weeks.



4 weeks old and very alert --probably wondering why he's not being held. :)



Caleb getting in on the photo shoot fun: What a cutie. :)

Baby Ethan Photo Updates

Ethan at 1 week old. He's a little yellow from some Jaundice, but after a little less than a week on a billi blanket he's doing great.

Lots of love to Grandma S and Uncle L for helping us adjust and keeping Caleb entertained. -We loved the water balloons. :)

Ethan at 2 weeks old. 8 lbs. 9 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long --growing fast. Our home scale says he's 10 lbs. now and he's not even 3 weeks yet. Mommy must be feeding him good. :)

Our New Addition

Last Tuesday August 16th we welcomed our new little boy into our family. Ethan Glenn Bly was 7 lbs. 7 ounces, 20 3/4 inches long and has dark soft hair. Our delivery went very well and Caleb enjoyed spending time with his Grandma and Grandpa Long while we were at the hospital. He is very excited about his baby brother and is such a sweet 2-year-old. :)

35 Weeks and 35 Days to Go

So, I was checking out www.babycenter.com and thought it was cool that tomorrow I'll not only be 35 weeks pregnant, but I'll also only have 35 more days to go. Which, unfortunately sounds like a lot longer than saying I have another month to go.

This last stretch of pregnancy is always the hardest for me ... mostly because it's uncomfortable to gain weight and get bigger before the baby comes. Nights are longer and this pregnancy our baby likes to push, kick and wiggle --especially at night.

-We are all getting excited to have Ethan join our family. And since Caleb didn't give any signs of early arrival I am settling in for the long stretch. -Just 35 days to go. :)
