He's Here!

Owen Robert Irving was born at 5:07 PM on April 4th. He weighs 7 lbs 5 ounces and is 20.25 inches long.




I checked into the hospital just before 5:00 PM on Tuesday, April 3rd to be induced. I thought Owen was going to be born by 3 AM the next day or so. However, 24 hours later, after dealing with the baby being in the wrong position and the associated pains of back labor and eventual vacuum extraction, Owen was finally born. It was a long, somewhat complicated labor, that did not go according to plan, but everything turned out fine!

We are all really happy to finally be home and out of the hospital!
