He's here!

[district12ravenclaw]

I am thrilled to announce the arrival of Owen Nathaniel! He was born at 4:09pm, weighing 8lbs 9oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches. We're all doing well, albeit exhausted. I suffered a 3rd degree tear, and since he came out sunny side up, he ended up with a hematoma on his little conehead. We're learning to breastfeed now and it's kind of hit and miss, so we've got some work to do!

Finally. Was he worth the wait? Congratulations. I know the end was long but he still seemed to get here so fast. Sounds like labor wasn't too terribly long. A little less than 10 hours since your water broke? Congratulations again. I can't wait to see him.

Thanks! He was absolutely worth the wait, we're so in love with this little man :).
