Valentines Day!!

Today Owen is 8 weeks old! It has certainly been an unforgettable 8 weeks. I have had more all nighters in the past 2 months than I did in 4 and a half years of college! Mike and I have read every book on how to get your baby to fall asleep and STAY asleep! It seems Owen certainly is one special baby because NOTHING works for him. He just likes to do things on his own. Owen cried all night for about 2 weeks straight. The crying has since stopped, but he still likes to be up most the night. As exhausting as this can be, I would not trade those hours with Owen for anything!


He is starting to get a great personality and smiling and "laughing" at everything Mommy and Daddy do. He loves bright objects and has recently discovered the TV. He likes watching Baby Einstein and The Office. 


Yes, these last 8 weeks have been amazing. I never thought it was possible, but I do believe Owen gets cuter everyday and my love for him gets stronger each day! 

He truly has made Valentines Day have a whole new meaning!!

Welcome Baby Owen

Owen Christopher arrived on December 20, 2010. He was scheduled to be induced at 8:30 AM, but the contractions came around 3:00 A.M. We arrived to the hospital at 4:30 and found out we weren't even on the schedule to be induced. Lucky for us, we got to stay anyways; I guess Owen knew!

Labor was so easy for me, and less than 12 hours after my first contraction, I was holding my beautiful, baby boy. There is nothing to describe the way I felt when I first saw him. It is like no love I have ever felt before. Owen truly is a blessing for Mike and I and we could not be more excited about our new addition!
