He's Here!

 Owen Bradley Hardcastle

8 pounds, 4 ounces
20 inches

We arrived at the hospital at 5:00 am on Friday, still trying to comprehend how it was that we would be parents in only 2 hours.  The c-section went well.  I had a hard time with the anesthesia during the actual procedure but recovery has gone smooth.  Baby is eating well and is just as cute as can be.  And yes, that is strawberry red hair that you see!  We just love him so much.

Brand new-- look at that hair!


I was still recovering from surgery, but was so happy my boy was finally here!


He loved his first bath





We look a bit tired, don't you think?


We are so happy!
