Ethan Daniel Mobley was born on October 18th at 9:21 am weighing 6lbs 11oz.  Sunday night my water broke and we headed to the hospital.  I still had not dilated any so I had two doses of Cytotec, a medication used to induce labor.  At 5am I was 4cm and at 7am I was 6-7cm.  Dr. Ball came in at 7 and said they would start pitocin and we would have a baby by lunch.  I decided to get the epidural then and by 8:15 I was ready to push – before they even started the pitocin.  Dr. Ball came back and he was born at 9:21!  She held him up so we could both see that he was a boy – we were so excited!  Waiting to find out was such an amazing surprise.  Jason was an amazing labor coach – my nurse told me I had to tell all my friends how great he was!

He is perfect and we are completely in love with him.  Picking his name was easy.  We have both loved the name Ethan and even wanted to use this name since before we were married.  Daniel is my dad’s first name as well as Jason’s middle name.

Here are a few pictures of our little guy.
