Owen is HERE!

Owen Thomas Church arrived at 3:12 pm on Wednesday, July 23. He is beautiful, wonderful, amazing... I could go on and on. Here is Nick meeting Owen for the first time. He held him with Daddy's help, pet him and gave him kisses. Luckily, Nick had come up to check on me while I was in labor along with Granny & Aunt Melmo. They were about to leave when the nurse checked me and said I was fully dilated. They sat in the waiting room and came in to see us about 30 minutes after Owen's was born. We were so impressed with how well Nick did at the hospital and relieved that Granny & Aunt Melmo could watch him while we were there.

Owen doesn't make much noise yet and he's a good little sleeper so far. I have to wake him up to eat.
Here we are getting ready to go home. Why does it seem to take so long to get discharged? We finally left around 4pm on Friday. Owen slept the whole way home.

I love my guys! Here they are loving on Owen and patiently waiting to take us home. Granny & Owen Papa and Owen

Yum, Yum. This finger will do for a second. Where's Mommy?

Owen looks just like Nick did at this age.

Update: We took Owen in on Sunday for a weight and jaundice check. He was just an ounce shy of his birth weight! Then we took him back on Tuesday (6 days old) for another jaundice check and he weighed 7# 13oz. Woo Hoo!! He's a good little eater. His Bilirubin level has come down and does not require any special treatment. The same thing happened with Nick too.
