Crash course in motherhood 101

Well Owen finally made it at 6:24pm on Sept. 30 weighing in at 8 pd 15 oz. and 21 3/4 long.....yeah, suprise to mommy! Everything went well though and now we have survived the first week at home. Motherhood is proving to be an awesome and exhausting journey.....but its amazing (no matter that its normally 2:30 in the morning and your running off of two hours sleep,with a pounding headache) the love you feel for your child is unbelievable, it can't be beat. We've learned that boys love to pee when changing a diaper-regardless of whether you keep them covered or not, that just because it sounds like he;s finished dirtying his diaper doesn't mean he hasn't saved a little for the fresh one you just put on, and that socks are destined to get stuck in poo if they are left on while changing. He's already so alert and trying to hold his head up and wiggle around as much as possible, I'm begining to realize that as soon as I blink he's going to be 18. Its taking a lot of adjusting on both mine and JW's parts but we wouldn't trade it for anything. I'll do my best to update and keep pictures posted for everyone.....time permitting
