Owen Andrew Bang


He is finally here!! Owen Andrew was born on June 10th at 2:24am! He was 8lbs 7oz and 20in long! Not quite as big as his sister, but definitely a nice little round boy!

It was really the craziest thing b/c I showed up for my c-section at 3PM IN LABOR!! Can you believe that? So they let me try labor for a good 9 1/2 hours. They broke my water and the contractions really started taking off. They had to slow them at one point b/c Owen was getting a little stressed. At about 1:30am they decided there were a few too many complications and he need to come via c-section. So that's what happened. I was a little disappointed, but really feel now like the right thing happened and I also feel like I did my best!

We are so happy to have Owen here. He is sweet and content and just a complete joy! Elly came to see him and with a big smile on her face shouted "Baby! Baby! Baby!" Owen brought Elly a little toy also so all is well so far! :) We'll keep you all posted. I'll likely get to go home tomorrow which will be great!
PS. I'm a pretty good sport for posting this one I think :)

Andrew,
I found your blog quite by chance. It's so incredible to see you and your family after all these years.
It brings a tear to my eye.
I'm wondering what your Polish is like. Try it if you will by reading about our family on: http://nulka.blox.pl/html.
Warm greetings from Ewa, Robert, Ania and Adam (and of course Noel!).
Congratulations on your baby boy.
