Ryan has arrived!

On October 2, 2009, we were blessed with precious, healthy 8lb. 10 oz., 21in. baby boy, Ryan Owen. He was 3 weeks early & still a big boy...we were ready! Theories have been made, but after 2 early, healthy babies, we just say that Lauren has a "good oven." Contractions started at 8 am, & he was out, after a quick, smooth labor & delivery, by 5:51 pm. The recovery was also smooth (hooray for a body that remembers! we're also fans of Fair Oaks hospital), & we feel so blessed! Unfortunately, Sophie was unable to come & visit at the hosp., thanks to H1-N1 virus security regulations there, but Sophie & Charlie got to see the little guy when we returned home. Sophie went a million miles a minute trying to help with this & that & show Baby ryan this & that. It was quite cute! We're trying to give her her special attention when we can. The sleepless nights have begun, but we think we're getting better at it, slowly(we hope). :) We are in love with our new addition, & we're excited to experience this new adventure together.
