Welcome Ethan John Hunt!


Our friends Alison and Matt Hunt were expecting their baby to arrive around August 19th, but they were very surprised when one week ago Alison started to show early signs of going into labor. Alison went into the hospital that day and had to stay for what the doctors were hoping would be two weeks and then they would deliver the baby. Well, little Baby Hunt had a different idea and decided to join us in the world early yesterday morning. After a long week, little sleep for the Hunts and lots of prayers, Ethan John Hunt was born at 32 weeks and 5 days. He was 3 lbs 13 oz and 18 inches long. Yesterday was also supposed to be Alison's baby shower, so Ethan must have decided he wanted to be here for the party.

I went to the hospital yesterday with a couple of friends to see baby Ethan, Alison and Matt. He is beautiful!!! He will have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks, but he's doing well for how early he was born. Alison and Matt are both doing great. Alison is feeling well and looked wonderful. They are both very tired, but very excited. The Hunt's keeping everyone updated via their blog if you would like to hear more about Ethan and find out how they are doing over the next few weeks.

We could not be happier for them and we can't wait to see Ethan again soon.
