This is Zach for (hopefully) the last time. Mandy should be back to blogging soon because she’s coming home from the hospital tomorrow.

The last 24 hours have been big: Mandy got to hold Ethan for the first time, we both got to feed him, and I got to give him a sponge bath tonight. It’s going to be hard to leave here tomorrow without him but we know we’ll just be going home to finish getting everything ready for his arrival.

Mandy holding Ethan after feeding him: He’s VERY tired after taking a bottle.
