Please welcome Ethan Scott Nanscawen to the world
, December 3, 2009Well he’s finally here!

First, the stats…
Born: Wednesday, December 2nd at 12:21pm
Location: New York Downtown Hospital – New York, NY
Weight: 7 lb 9oz
Height: 19 inches
Given Names: Ethan Scott (Elana’s father’s name is Scott)
Admittedly, we both wondered how we could possibly love another as much as we love Chloe but (no surprise to those of you who have more than one kid) we do! It was love at first sight…the first time we saw this scrawny, purpley-blue li’l guy outside of Elana’s belly. And he came out fighting…kicking Dr Wong and Nurse Jackie and screaming like a banshee. The coolest experience was when the nurse presented him to us (as he continued to wail) and as soon as Elana and I spoke to him, he immediately stopped crying and opened his eyes to look at us.

Ethan arrived yesterday afternoon with a full bill of health and he’s been a source of entertainment and joy ever since! We’ve noticed facial features that resemble Chloe’s and people already say he looks like me (poor guy) but I’m betting/hoping that he, like Chloe, will begin looking more and more like Elana as he matures.

The pic on the left should look awfully familiar to anyone who saw Chloe’s first pictures.
Elana’s doing really well for someone who’s endured her second c-section in 14 months. Despite the usual pain experienced after this kind of procedure, she’s already beginning to walk a little and we’re expecting to be released from the hospital tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

Ethan has been eating well and, so far (knock on wood) he’s been sleeping plenty and we’ve yet to hear him cry since his first appearance. He’s so similar to Chloe in many ways yet we’re already discovering his strength – big kicks with long legs – and a little more hair.

Oh my lord, that is one handsome boy!! I can’t believe it–both of your kids came straight out of the oven looking absolutely gorgeous. You guys aren’t looking so bad yourselves. I guess the second time around you know a thing or two? Here’s to hoping, anyway! Love you guys, and congratulations on another amazing little ‘cawen!

Welcome to Ethan. What a beautiful family. I’m sure Chole will love her little brother and take good care of him. Mack says “Hi” too.
