Darren arrived in Greensboro about 2:30 in the afternoon from Seoul on Saturday, May 15th. Baby brother had been waiting patiently, but was not going to wait until May 21st, his original due date. Laura had felt some contractions in the morning but nothing substantial. By 6:00 PM, it seemed evident that Saturday night/Sunday morning would be spent in the hospital. By about 9:30 PM, we were checked into High Point Regional. Ethan Mark Price was born at 11:34 PM. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 9 ounces (3.88 kilos). He was 21 inches long (53.34 cm). Mom & Ethan did great and both are healthy.
Ethan means "firm, strong." It is our prayer that Ethan will be strong in the Lord in the same way he was strong in the womb and has kicked and beat on Laura throughout her pregnancy. Mark, in addition to being Darren's middle name, means "warlike" in Latin and "shining, polite" in Hebrew. Our prayer is that Ethan Mark would carry on a heritage of walking with God. We pray he will firmly and strongly and unwaverly "fight the good fight," sharing God's love throughout his life.
We are grateful that God allowed Ethan to wait until Darren got to NC. We also give praise for no complications during the delivery despite a full knot in the umbilical cord which could have been very problematic.
