Introducing Owen John Lewis

Please welcome the newest member of our family, Owen John.  He was born on Tuesday, May 8th 2012 at 8:23pm weighing 9 pounds 4 ounces and was 21.5 inches in length.  He was named after his great-great grandpa Owen Lewis.  I later found out that he was born on his great-great grandpa Clarence Poppitz's birthday - 1904 (my grandma Gennrich's father).

So far Owen has been a great baby.  He is nursing pretty well but lately has been having lots of spitups before he's ready to eat.  Owen has already initiated both John and me into the parenthood of a baby boy club - we went through several shirts and socks yesterday... 

I don't know what Megan thinks of her baby brother just yet.  She will acknowledge that there is a baby but so far she has been much more entertained by the hospital waiting room than the baby.  Hopefully she takes to him a little more once she is in a more comfortable environment. 

 

 

Labor and birth story soon to follow!  Oh, you can probably count on more pictures too!
