Owen's Birth
Hey guys, here's little Owen Veral!  Like Katie's birth page, you click on the pictures below at your own risk.  I've censored them a little, but you may see more leg than you want.  Actually, Kate's page is more explicit.

A video for those who dare - Cutting the Cord (7MB)

After one of the 4 "false alarms" just getting the tummy pics in!
 This is actually the day. The OB at our scheduled appointment said, "DON'T GO HOME, GO STRAIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL!!"
 Adrienne was there this time as well. It was MUCH more relaxed, but she helped keep things steady.
 Just getting seated at 1:40pm, getting hooked to the monitors
There was a REALLY comfy rocking chair in the room. We just rocked an talked...
 After a 45 min nap, 3 games of UNO, the doc finally showed and talked us through our options
 He was very up front with us about our options, Pitocin, epidural, etc... MUCH different than Kaiser This is Julie's labor! Just chillin'...
Getting the epidural The monitor, the top line is Owen's heartbeat, the bottom line is the contractions Adie was just chillin'... We talked, laughed, Julie felt NONE of it... How are you feeling? Fine! Nothin!
It was so relaxed that the doc was catching up on his records... Now with the gown on, we're gettin' ready! There's a funny mirror story. If you want to know, I'll tell you One, two, skip a few... Here's a baby!
Yay! I just had a baby!!! Awww....
I spent a month's worth of minutes that night... Julie got in some phone time too! Kate's and Owen's first meeting
