It's a Boy- Introducing Owen Raymond DeLano!

I am so excited to finally introduce you to my beautiful new son- Owen Raymond! I can't believe it, but he will be four weeks old tomorrow. He was born February 17, 2009 at 4:39 p.m. weighing 9 lbs 2 oz and measuring 21.5 inches long. He was so much bigger than my daughter when she was born! The doctor's let my husband announce the sex of the baby in the delivery room which was such a thrill for him. I must admit, I was a little surprised when he said it was a boy. My daughter had been so insistent she was getting a sister throughout my pregnancy, I was convinced she must have known something I didn't. We brought her in first to meet the baby, and then let her go out to the waiting room to tell the rest of the family what we had. She ran in and proudly announced "Um, the baby brudder's here!' and then turned and ran back to my room. We actually captured that on video so I will have to post it here too.

Owen's middle name (Raymond) is for my Dad who passed away 5 years ago- to the day - that Owen was born. It was unbelievable to me when my water broke that morning and I knew the baby would be born. I was very emotional about it at first, but then I realized that it was meant to be. I think my Dad and God worked together on this one to give me an incredible gift, and a date on the calendar that can no longer make me sad. I love you Daddy... and I love my sweet baby boy...
