He's Here!!



At 10am Jared and I went to the hospital, signed in, and got prepped and ready to deliver a baby. By 12:15 I was in the O.R. ready. My spinal block went great.... everything went really well. Jared said that once they got the head out, our little boy opened his eyes and looked all around. And at 12:44pm
ETHAN JARED ALLEN
came into our world. Jared went with him to snap some pictures and to make sure that everything was okay while I was being put back together and then later came and told me that our little dude--- weighed 9 lbs 3 ounces and was 20 inches long!!!
He has dark hair and is such a cute little bug. I think we'll keep him. :) I will post pictures tomorrow.... PROMISE.
