OWEN IS HERE!

Well I finally found some time to update my blog. A lot has happened since my last post about a month ago. We now have 2 kids, so life is a little more hectic these days. Right now I am sitting downstairs at the computer with little Owen asleep in my lap, and Eden is upstairs watching Cinderella. The big news is that we had our new little baby boy, Owen David Edwards two weeks ago, on September 3rd. He was born at 8:12 am, weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long. I had to have a c-section, but I am recovering nicely. Here is a picture of me a few days before giving birth.

Clint holding the new addition to our family. "Whew," he says, "it's a boy!" You can almost see the relief in his face.

Here I am with my new little son. This is the first time I got to hold him after coming out of the recovery room. My spinal anesthesia was wearing off, and I was starting to be able to feel my legs again. (And the pain from the incision in my stomach!)

Home at last! Eden missed us. She had fun playing with grandma Rodriguez for a few days though.

Some more new additions to the family. My mom brought up these kittens for us when she came to help out with Owen. Their names are Gus-gus and Dot-dot (Eden helped name them.)

Owen had jaundice pretty bad, and his bilirubin was 18 (which is quite high), so we had to have him on the portable lights for a while, which is why he looks like he is glowing (either that or he is just really innocent and pure)
