Birth to 1 Hour Pics

I wrestled with myself on whether I would post pictures of Owen in the Special Infant Unit.  Sometimes some people might not like to see little babies being hooked up to all of those sensors and IVs, but I ended up deciding to post pictures of our whole experience as it is his whole story. 

As I alluded to before, Owen inhaled some ambiotic fluid with his first breath, and because he was a baby that didn't cry it stayed in his lungs instead of being cried out.  He was in great shape except for that.  They kept him in that unit for the better part of his stay at the hospital as they just wanted to be extra cautious and monitoring his breathing, heart rate, etc...  He was in great shape, and I appreciate the hospital being on the cautious side. 

So, here they are.....a bunch of Owen pics:
