Sawyer Quinton Owen was born June 26, 2015, at 3:10 a.m., weighing 8 lbs, 6 oz. He was born in the middle of the night after a very fast labor!
Mom had been feeling contractions throughout the day, but she had had so many contractions throughout the pregnancy she wasn't fully sure it was labor until an hour and a half before he was born. Coincidentally, Aubrie had thrown up at her Girl's Camp that night and came home a day early. She arrived home just before midnight and mom and dad left for the hospital around 2 a.m. This was a miracle in of itself because we left the kids home with her babysitting and she didn't have to miss out on any of the fun. This was her biggest concern with going to the camp is that she wouldn't be around when Sawyer made his debut.
Mom and Dad walked into the labor and delivery department and 30 minutes later this sweet baby joined us. There was a few scary moments where his heart rate dropped, so oxygen was given to mom, but other than that there were no medical interventions. As mom was pushing him out, the nurses were giving her an IV and drawing blood -- these things should have been done well before this stage! One drawback of this quick birth is we had left everything in the car -- even the camera and video camera! Thankfully, we at least had our cell phones! This was the first baby that had been born without induction, so we didn't know what to expect!
They examined every detail of his cute body.
