Wireless Ethan

Up until now Aaron has done a beautiful job writing our blogs but now it is my turn. Prepare to be amazed and blown away. So, it has been quite a week for the crazy Bangerters, we had Ethan's appointment on Monday. Our appointment was at 1:10 but they asked us to get there 30 minutes early so that we could check in which took 2 minutes and then we waited 28 more minutes until our appointment. They sent us down to get his x-rays taken, they held poor Ethan down naked on a cold metal table and took his pictures. We then went to see his cardiologist Docta Jou who tested his oxygen levels both on and off his tank and he stayed consistent at 95%. Jou listened to his heart which still had the murmur but had not changed since his last visit. He went over both the new and old x-rays showing me that the heart was now normal in size and looked really good. He gave us permission to take Ethan off his oxygen tank and said that we could fly to San Diego! It was a very good, relieving day. We've been able to dress him regular clothes now because there's no cord that might get in the way of us trying to put a shirt over his head.

On Friday I took Ethan to a Relief Society retreat up in Provo Canyon. All the ladies in our ward fussed more than Ethan wanting to hold him. Ethan was pretty shocked by all of the attention and the ever present giggling that went on between the sisters. He must have decided that he had had more than enough and cried for about 20 minutes on the way back up to Salt Lake. I was finally was able to calm him down by telling him about our upcoming trip to San Diego. Aaron stayed home that night and finally got the peace and quiet that he wanted. Then on Saturday I went to my monthly get-together with my friends and I took Ethan with me. He must have had enough from the previous day because he cried and just wanted to eat and sleep, which I told him was not a good way to win over the ladies.

Ethan has gotten really big he is now 26 inches long, 12lbs 13 oz and he wears 6 month old clothing. He's in the 93rd percentile for length, around the 70th percentile for weight, and the 55th percentile for head circumference

Aaron is doing well. He is working hard at his job where they love him. He is very excited about it being football season again but once again his Bills have disappointed him by how awful they are. Thank goodness he has two other teams to fall back on, BYU and U of U.

I am excited and challenged by being a mother. I love the fun quiet moments that I get to have with Ethan. He is a joy and it is so fun to see him change everyday and make new sounds and smile so fondly up and me and his dad.
We hope that all is well with all of you. Take care and we hope to hear from you soon.
