updates: lump, sleep, work

Last week I took Ethan to the doctor because he has a lump behind his ear. After a visit with the pediatrician, x-rays, and a visit to the surgeon, the diagnosis is a small bony tumor that is not malignant. We may end up having a CT scan to make sure, but we're going to wait and talk to our pediatrician at Ethan's two month appointment in March before we do anything.

Ethan is doing fantastic at night, sleeping at least 7 hours at a time. I am so thankful, especially because I'm returning to work on Wednesday. Ethan was 10lbs 5oz at his appt. last week. What a little piglet! He and JD are both doing great. I took them for pictures on Saturday. Take a look! :)

one month old


Hello everyone! Things are going well around the Burch house, other than the fact that John has the flu! But, the boys are doing well. JD loves being a big brother...smothering Ethan with kisses all the time. We're teaching him to hug Ethan around his belly...not right on top of his face! He is so loving, though. It makes us so happy. Ethan is growing and changing every day. He broke a smile a couple times yesterday and today, but we're still trying to capture it on camera! We would love for you to meet him, if you haven't already. Give us a call and come on by! This picture was taken in the bath the other night. JD loved taking a bath with Daddy and "E" (what JD calls his little brother). JD had fun splashing and Ethan didn't cry a bit! They were so cute. Take a look at our photo gallery for more pics from January. :)
