gma Jane

my wonderful mom stayed with us for owen's first week home. it was tremendous help to have her around. We were able to split the night routines, she was always cooking us food to eat, cleaning and keeping us company and from going crazy from lack of sleep.
we love her and was really sad to have her leave us.
i know she'll be back though!

owen had his first bath on saturday (march 12) . he wasn't so sure about it, but he sure did smell so good afterwards.

5 wks

Before after

henley and owen are 5 wks apart. i love that we both have sweet little babies close in age. now i just wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often. But i do see lots of playdates happening!

Baby boy

i went in for my appt on tues and my Dr. noticed absolutly no change in anything so she asked what we wanted to do. I said get his baby out and she said ok when?! so we set the date for the following morning to be induced. My Dr. said it probably would've been another 2 wks before i went into labor on my own!

morning of delivery, 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant. 10 months of long waiting for this little man

that was my baby vase that my mom received when i was born. she passed it onto me.

he was a big boy at 8lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long.

reuniting after he got all cleaned. i had so much love for him when i first saw him, but in shock that this is my baby!

proud proud daddy. Josh is so excited to finally have owen here and i catch him just staring at baby boy with such joy!





Owen joshua Willden

i had a great delivery. i progressed extremely fast for being induced and he came out easily. he eats great, but does have juandice and has to be under the glow light.

We are completely in love with Owen and couldn't have asked for a more perfect baby.

tomorrow is my due date and i'm not holding my breathe that our little man is arriving soon. i'm really trying all i can to get him out, but i swear he's holding on for dear life in there! I have a dr appt tomorrow, hanging out with jill and then my mom is coming over to hang out and cook us dinner. that should all be a nice distraction for the day.
