The big sisters can't get enough of baby Owen. They love holding him. Nora asks me where baby Owen is every time I enter the room.

2 weeks old

Owen weighs 9 lbs 13 oz!

He gained over a pound in a week! We now refer to him as the tank!

Meeting cousin Jeanie!

Jean Emily born February 1st.
We thought that the babies would be days apart but we didn't think it would be 26 days apart! I think Jeanie was wondering why she had to share her daddy with this new kid!

Home at last!
Time to hang out on the couch with daddy and watch basketball.
Or sleep....

So happy to be going home!

Ready to go home!
March 3- we can't wait to be home and feeling better! We are about to begin life as a family of five!

Our big boy wide awake!
We are almost ready to go home and finally be done with the hospital!

So sweet!

meeting his big sisters for the first time! They are so excited to have a new baby! They barely notice that mommy is at the hospital... they have just come to see their brother! They love holding him and have been covering him in kisses!

These are Owens first pictures! February 27!
His head is all red because the doctor had to keep scratching it while I was in labor to help stimulate him. I guess it helped his heart rate because he was in stress! In the end we had to do an emergency c-section. The poor little guy was all wrapped up in his cord and was completely stuck! Thank God for modern medicine! Owen decided he couldn't give up his favorite spot inside mommy without a fight. He decided to flip over to breech right as the doctor was reaching in to pull him out. I guess he really didn't want to come out! Mommy had to have transfusions after all of his antics because his flip caused some pretty serious dammage to the incision. I think this one is going to give me some gray hair for sure!

41 weeks
this kid is never coming out!
I think I might burst if he doesn't come soon

Owen from the inside!
He's very smushed!
