Clark Family Blog: Our lives are forever changed.

Baby Ethan Scott Clark was born September 1st at 10:06 weighing 6 pounds 3 ounces and measuring 20 inches in length. We are so happy to have him here and we are so in LOVE.

At our last Dr's appointment (Friday August 31st) our Dr decided that she wanted us to get the baby here soon, so we decided to have labor induced. Monday night at 6:30 we went to the hospital and by 7:45 had a cervidal placed. At about 4:00 AM Tuesday I was in a lot of pain, mostly my legs. At about 5:30 or 6:00 they took the cervidal out and I took a I took a long bath to help ease the pain and try to relax. At about 7:00 the nurse checked and I was about a 1/2 cm dilated, and they started the pitoicin. At about 8:00 they said I could have the epidural and the guy would be in as soon as he could. At about 9:00 my water broke. At about 9:30 the guy FINALLY showed up to do the epidural, which was too late to take effect...At about 9:45 we started delivery and 9 pushes later, perfect little Ethan was born.

Jay was by my side the entire hospital stay and has taken the best care of our little guy. You can tell he is so in love and he is the best daddy ever.
