Owen William was born 10 weeks early due to me having severe pre-eclampsia. I was only 30 weeks and 2 days into my pregnancy. It's hard to believe that he only weighed 2 pounds 8 1/2 ounces. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards all the nurses and doctors that watched over and cared for little Owen as he stayed at the Helen Devos Childrens Hospital (NICU) for 41 days. It was the love and support from them as well as our family and friends that helped us get through the tough times.
It has been a little over 3 months (14 weeks) since Owen was born. Today Owen weighs 8 pounds 8 1/2 ounces. He's becoming such a chunk! He's actually a spitting image of his dad...not that I'm saying Kevin's a chunk (smile). He definitely has the Manthei facial features. I love looking at his blue eyes (I never thought I would have a blue eyed baby) and it's fun to see his little smirks and the way he wrinkles his forehead just like Kevin. I'm hoping someday he will look like his mommy too. We are so blessed to have Owen in our lives.

Sorry to say Lacy but I think he has the Gibbs nose. Not to worry he will grow into it. Owen does look like Kevin so that aint all bad, but Kevin looks like Grandpa which is where we all got the nose. It will be fine. Good Luck and speedy recovery. Hope to see u guys soon.
