so far so good

This is mama Shepherd tuning in to let you all know that Owen's labs all turned out well, and it appears that we avoided the Group B mess this time! He is in the room with us now and just snoozing it up. He ate a little just after birth, but has been too tired to do anymore of that so far, but he seems super content.

Lewis stopped by to meet his brother and seemed rather freaked out by the whole experience. We're sure he'll warm up to the new addition soon enough. He was most upset that I couldn't walk around the hospital with him.

We're so relieved he is here and that we are all feeling so well. We're gonna try to get some rest now. Thanks for your prayers!

p.s. One correction: Owen is actually 20 1/2 inches long...not 21 1/2 like previously posted. When he gets bigger we don't want anyone to think he shrunk, though he'll probably be losing some weight if he doesn't wake up!!
