Owen Davis Stewart came in to the world at 4:02am on Friday, April 29th. Mom had all the intensity of a typical labor -- just jam-packed into about 3 hours. At times she didn't think she could do it, but I knew she could. And of course, all that was an afterthought once we met the little man.
He was 36 weeks and 2 days in utero, which technically makes him premature. But he's 7 pounds, 4 ounces -- which is to say, a healthy-sized baby. (Mom is still terrified to think about delivery at 40 weeks.) He's also impressed all the staff around here with his instinct for breast-feeding, since that's especially challenging for premature babies.
Lara and Paul,
