Our new bundle of joy has finally arrived! Elliot Randall Owens made his appearance on January 4th, 2012 at 12:46pm weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces (1 ounce bigger than his brother) and 21 inches long. Labor and delivery were a bit different than last time; I was induced at around 8 am and things progressed very quickly. I held out until 11 am to get my epidural, and under 2 hours later we had a baby! There wasn't a whole lot of time to react, and even an hour after he was born, I told Nick that I still couldn't believe that he was here already :) There were also a record number of babies born at Maple Grove Hospital that day (18), so things were crazy busy the whole time we were there.
Here are a few pictures from our stay at the hospital, as well as a few from Elliot's first days at home.

Nick and I feel very blessed to have two happy, healthy little boys. We are working on getting a routine down in our household, but for now are just enjoying the chaos that having two children brings :)
