Welcome Owen to the World

We'll after 9 months and a whole bottle of Tums taken for heartburn our little one has finally graced us with his arrival. Here are a few pictures of the events with more details to follow, mostly because its now 11:33 on teh east coast I can barely type I am so tired

Here we are getting ready to leave and mostly scared to death. Even though this is our second brith I was even more nervous this time somehow, and I am not even the one having my belly cut open to yank a wiggling baby boy



So we got Jen all wrapped up after the spinal was done by one of my favorite attendings. This picture was taken just before incision and Jen was as ready as she was going to get. She was gripping my hand pretty tight but it was hard to tell which hand was more sweaty






Well Dr. Thomas got Jen open quickly and before you could count to ten there was a baby head popping out of Jen's abdomen, a head full of dark hair. Soon there was a whole baby out who was crying and screaming at us for disturbing his peaceful slumber.



Well after he was out they put him on the table and got him all cleaned up so he could be presentable on his birthday. They wiped him down and poked him and examined him head to toe and pronouced him medically sound and then they handed him over to me.









Here we are meeting our baby.



More tomorrow. We love you all.
