He's here!

He made it - Early!  We went in for our last appointment before our scheduled C section on Friday morning and Dayna's doctor was a little concerned about her fluid level.  On the spot she decided that Dayna need to be delivered that day.  That was at 1 p.m.  Dayna delivered our healthy baby boy that evening.  The section was a little tough - and we now know why he wasn't turning head down - his 14" melon was keeping him in place!

Owen Robert Blumel was born at 8:09 p.m., Friday.  7 lbs 9 oz and 20.75" long.  He"s doing great and mom is recovering nicely.  below are some pics.

His first clothing experience was not a good one.
