First Bath

Back to the Pediatrician

Leaving to go back to the pediatrician for another Jaundice test.

This time we were told his levels were low, and that we should just make sure he didn't look more like a pumpkin ever.  We continued window time for the next few days, and Owen started to look less orange.

Jaundice

Monday, July 11th we went to the pediatrician for the first time, and were told Owen had Jaundice.  The un-fun part was that the pediatrician said it was too late in the day for them to do anything after the labs got back, so if the levels were too high we would have to go to the emergency room that night.  We came home and put Owen straight into the window.  Later that evening we got a call saying the levels were low enough to not worry about it that night, but to go back into the office the next day.

He gave me many faces.

This one is still my favorite!

He's Home

July 8th at about 2pm we made it home! Owen fed, then I took a nap. 

A much needed nap, as I got horrible sleep in the hospital bed.  I was woken up as soon as I felt like I was finally getting comfortable at 7am by Dr. Beck.  We were happy to be home!

Welcome Owen!

Thursday, July 7 at 10:58am Owen Samuel Western was born!  7 lbs, 15 oz 21.5 inches long, and absolutely perfect!

Another Max Quote

Max was painting a picture, and told me the following: "When Owen is born he's going to say, 'Cool Max, did you draw that?' and I'm going to say 'Yeah'..." (like it's no big deal)

Goofy Looking Baby

The 3D Ultrasound wasn't as amazing as I had hoped.  Owen had his face in my back, and Dr. Beck was trying to get a shot of him looking in from the side near my hip.  We got to watch him chew on the back of his hand (pictured below) but we couldn't see his face long enough to get a clear picture.  We only got a couple blurry blob ones :).  I totally think that's Sam's same cheek bone though.

 Our chubby monster baby with his mouth open :).

Totally goofy pictures, but that's okay.  I'm sure he'll look normal in real life.  I can't wait to meet our little baby Owen!  5 weeks and 2 days until my "due date"!!
