Owen

Here is a recent picture of Owen in a onsie that Courtney got for him. I just love it....

Owens "Tubber" at Grandma Schumacher's House

Owen had his first "tubber" (as Ethan would call it) at Grandma Schumacher's house because he had a big blow out. Doesn't he look cute. He actually really enjoys his baths.

RIP Sushi

So Sushi (our Beta) died yesterday, well were not really sure when he died. I changed his water on Saturday and he was alive then so somewhere after that he died. I wasn't too sad about it. Eric just laughed and flushed him down the toilet...

Owen had a doctor apt. on Friday and he weighed 7 lb 9 oz. so he gained 11 oz since we brought him home. I asked if that was a lot and the Dr. said they just want him to gain back what he lost when he left the hospital. He weighed 7# 1.9 oz when born and then when we left the hospital he was 6# 14 oz so he has defiantly put on what he lost and a little more. He is a really good eater (he takes after had dad : ) I am breastfeeding so its good to know that he is getting all he needs since there is no way to tell, except by his weight.

Yesterday was October in the Park and Owen and I went down to check it out. Mom had a booth at the show so we hung out with her all day. The weather was absolutely beautiful (except for the bees) and Owen slept the entire time (except to eat, of course). Mom did pretty good selling her leaves at the show. I only bought a pair of awesome mittens that Alicia's grandma made and two mums for in my pots by the house. Other than that it was just nice to be out and about and not cooped up in the house.

Today were going to just relax and watch the Packer Game.

Tomorrow were taking Owen to my work to visit the girls. I have to turn in insurance paperwork so we have to go in. Everyone is excited to meet him.

Owens BIG Blowout...

Owen had his first BIG blowout... and it happened to be right before dinner (Yummy). So he got his first "real" bath. His umbilical cord just fell off this morning so he could have a real bath instead of a sponge bath. Not only did we have a big blow out, the tub was leaking for some odd reason and we had water all over the bathroom and me. Oh, the joys of being a parent. Were loving every minute of it. Sorry, there were no pictures of bath time since we had our hands full...

Baby Owen has Arrived...

Baby Owen has arrived. He is a beautiful 7 lb 1.9 oz boy. I started having contractions on Tuesday at work and on Wednesday I called in to work to tell them I was having contractions and was going to stay home. At 2:30 we went in to the doctor to be evaluated because my contractions were 5-7 minutes apart. We had our evaluation and my water was about to burst and I was 4 cm dialated so they brought us up the the Maternity ward and at 9:39 p.m. he arrived. I had an epideral but it didnt work so they gave me another one (thank GOD). After only 15 minutes of pushing, he was born. We are both doing really good.
