Owen Daniel O'Brien made it into the world
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 at 3:05 p.m.
He was a whopping 9 lbs 4 oz, 20 inches long and a head the size of a coconut! (well actually 14.75")
Mommy had a rough, but natural delivery and Mr. Owen came out a beautiful little baby!
Owen then had a bit of a rough go with some fluid intake and high jaundice levels which landed him a stay in the NICU for 3 nights. We got to come home with Owen on Friday!
We are unfortunately still monitoring his levels at this point and praying for continued healing of the little dude.
Other than that, he is gorgeous, loves to sleep, not too keen on eating (unless from a bottle), hates to have his arms pinned, loves to squirm and toot. Today, Owen is a week old, and really it's hard to believe we've had the little guy for that long. We are still working out the scary kinks on this parenthood thing, but we're wishing, hoping and praying and getting on thanks to an awesome hubby, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends!
Oh, and we really weren't holding out on the name! Joe and I were still making lists on the Monday night of our induction.

What a little cutie pie! Let's see...how long did it take Caleb to get to 9lbs? Maybe two months?? So my kid may be older, but he'll still need to watch out for your kid! Hope the jaundice clears up soon.
well, you ended up with the perfect name! love it! he is soooo cute!
I hope you are healing quickly. You will get the parenting thing down...in about 18 years! :) Seriously, the first one is the hardest and every decision seems huge. Owen will survive your mistakes as long as he's fed, cleaned, and loved.
Congrats! Glad you were able to have a healthy natural delivery and enjoying your first week with him. You guys look so happy. May God bless you family as you embark on this new adventure. Hi Owen!
