FINALLY getting around to blogging about our newest addition ~ our little baby boy Owen :) He came into the world September 28th, 2011 at 11:40p.m. and weighed 8lb. 6oz. and was 20 inches long. Words simply can't describe the absolute joy it is bringing another life into the world ~ it is a joy and an experience only another mother and father know and can share in. To see our son for the very first time was an experience we will never ever forget. My whole pregnancy seems to now have just flown by, but during those last few days & weeks, I remember time just dragging on & on in waiting for this little guy to make his appearance! All & all pregnancy treated me very well, no sickness, just back pain towards the end, which is very well to be expected toting around an 8 pound bundle of love in your belly! I should have known I'd go into labor on our due date... the whole night before going into labor, I maybe got 2 hours of sleep, and woke up with contractions at 6:50a.m. Little stinker wasn't gonna come a day early-- he was bound and determined to make his mom & dad wait! :) So after a full day of labor, at 11:40p.m., our little Owen was born. He is the little light of our lives for sure, and below are some images that tell the story of our incredible journey--
Enjoy!
