After a rather lengthy time in labor, we ended up with a c-section because Owen's head got stuck. It took three people pull and pushing during the c-section just to get him un-stuck! He weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and 22.5 inches long. His birth time is the most fun at 11:59 on July 5. Talk about just barely squeaking into July 5!
Our first night and day thus far home from the hospital has been successful. Owen is a hungry little boy! We love him so much!
Here are some pictures from the hospital stay. Enjoy!
Contractions are so cool....
....as you can see here.
Our little bun fresh out of the oven.
Getting all checked. He got a 9 for his APGAR score.
A chunker!
Measuring - 22.5 inches.
Each baby gets one of these super cute Rota shirts.
Owen's family practice doc who was on call to do the checkup.
First bath.
Bath all done, no more boogers in his hair.
Some bonding time after a delicious dinner.
Our recovery room where we stayed. The extra bed for Damon to stay was really excellent. Owen stayed in the room too.
This was my birthing room - without all the mess.
Wrapped up and ready to go!
Our first family picture!
Outside the front of the hospital. It looks like Spain here.
