OWEN (TBD) FORBUSH has Arrived!

Many of you have received the emails I sent out last night. Ranging from anywhere to 3:30 am to 8 am. Baby Owen arrived this morning at 2:32 am to loving mom and dad. We had only arrived at the hospital at 1:30 am. Though Suzanne was having some contractions from like 10:30 pm on. It was kind of nice because she was to be induced at 6 am. So it came before.

Also because Suzanne was so far along and it went so quickly she was unable to receive an epidural. But nonetheless Mommy and little Baby Owen are doing just wonderfully resting in the hospital.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

This picture you can tell - THE BOY HAS GOT SOME LUNGS! Good thing we were the only ones in Labor & Delivery at 2 am or this boy would have woken the whole block up. You can also see his weight pretty clearly. 9 lbs 7 oz. Coming in at a length of 20.5 inches.

What a great picture! Squeezed baby face!

This is Brent, Sydney and Owen. Sydney wanted to hold Own while sitting on Daddy's lap. Then she started thumping Owen's head or brushing it and saying Sssh Sssh!! A lot. Funny thing is - seems like Owen got all his screams and cries out at delivery (See picture above). He has been gentle, quiet and sleeping a lot since then. He was sleeping when Sydney was shushing him too.

Mom, Dad, and Baby Owen shortly after delivery. What a super trooper! No epidural from Suzanne and it looks like she is perfectly ok.!

Dad, Sydney and Owen enjoy some bonding time.

Some recent pictures.

Our last family picture before our new addition comes (hopefully on Tuesday)!!


While I was cleaning out and updating a 72-hour kit Sydney discovered a whistle in the kit! We hid it (back in the kit) as soon as she was in bed!!

Sydney loves glasses. I found an old pair of my glasses and took the lenses out. She loves to wear them and be like Mommy!

Recent BBQ's

We had a BBQ with a few of our neighbors for Memorial Day. It was originally a block party, but it ended up being just 3 houses. Sydney rode/carried her bike next door and then enjoyed riding scooters with Bob & Irene.

We had a pool party/birthday celebration for Sydney and one of her friends that has a birthday a few days after hers. Basically it was an excuse to BBQ and enjoy some time at the pool with friends. The kids enjoyed the chips the most.

Sydney & Mom

Sydney turned 2!!!

Sydney playing with her birthday presents- an Elmo backpack that she picked out herself and dragged all the way to the front of the store, and a great tool set! She loves to help with the tools whenever we are working on house projects so we found her some tools of her own! She loves them!

(She is putting her backpack in "her" cupboard- that is where she puts a lot of treasures!)

Sydney had a great birthday on the 18th of May! She loved opening presents but enjoyed blowing out her candles even more. We had to light them a few times so she could blow them out again! And she successfully blew them out by herself!

Mother's Day

Brent cooked a delicious meal for Mother's Day! We had fried rice and General Tso's chicken. He even prepared yummy vegetables to go with it! It was delicious! And Sydney loved that her Daddy was wearing Mommy's apron.

Just Sydney being cute!

Sydney discovered the joy of eating cheetos!
