Ethan Hunter Tran

We've decided on a name, Ethan Hunter Tran.

Ethan; in Hebrew means strong/firm and safe
Hunter; The name of many of my old Role Playing Characters when I use to play AD&D and Top Secret and a derivative of my favorite character class, Ranger. A "Hunter" in sales is also a person who goes out and finds and brings in business.

We fed for the first time today through a baby bottle and we're practicing natural feeding as well. It has seriously been quite an experience because as Christine was changing him in the incubator, she took the diaper off and lifted his legs to wipe him, he sprayed his weapon everywhere. So I was running around getting wipes as she was cleaning him off and changing his diaper. I can't imagine how parents do this at 3am in the morning on limited rest.

According to the Doctor we have a pretty good shot at taking him home at the end of next week. There are no guarantees however the tests came back and he is negative for infections. He just has to chill out at the what we call the beach until the jaundice goes away (blue light at the hospital).

Ethan has started to open his eyes as well and loves to peek around and see his Momma and surroundings. We are so blessed that we have been able to make it to this point and really hope we'll be able to take him home next week. Christine is being discharged from the hospital today and we'll be taking trips back and forth to the hospital to spend time with Ethan.
