And Now We Are A Family Of 3

At 13:04 on 04/13/13, we welcomed Owen Steven into our lives, all 7 pounds 3 ounces of him on his 20 inch body.  

His first minute of life on the outside.

Peaking at all the commotion 

Getting checked out

He likes eating fingers

There was a bit of a poop incident which resulted in poop all over mommy and baby.

Big ol' feet, just like his dad had as a baby

Still kind of skeptical of this whole "outside" thing

40 Weeks

Today is Pat's due date, YAY! It can't be long now. I had an enjoyable day. I went for about a 1.75 mile walk at 6:30 this morning (which took me about an hour since I'm now moving very slowly), went to lunch with Andrew, did a little shopping and got a facial. In celebration of Pat's due date, I also made chocolate dipped strawberries for Andrew to share with his co-workers. 

I continue to feel well, except for this annoying shooting pain from my thigh to my pelvis. I've occasionally been experiencing this for a few weeks, but now it is fairly frequent. It stops me in my tracks for a few moments. My doctor said it is probably Pat shifting himself onto a nerve. My next doctor appointment is this Thursday. My doctor said she typically doesn't like her patients to go more than about a week overdue so within about a week Pat should arrive. We are hoping for a speedy delivery and a very healthy baby.

Pat's Nursery

Finally the nursery is complete, well as complete as a nursery can be without the actual baby. For the past few months I've been working on a few DIY projects for the nursery thanks to Pinterest (what did DIYers do before Pinterest?). I knitted Pat a blanket, made the bed skirt, book sling, mobile, and curtains and decorated letters for the alphabet wall. My very talented sister made the "I Love you to the Moon & Back" art for Christmas. My friends Leon & Flora thankfully helped finish all the letters. My husband begrudgingly painted the wall grey and Pat's dresser/changing table white (you would have thought he was dying and he was even drinking beer while painting) and assisted with hanging the various items. It was really a team effort. We're very happy with how everything turned out, although Andrew admitted that he would have been fine with just putting tin foil on the windows and a Pack n' Play in the room and calling it good. 

Now we just need the baby...
