Little buddy is finally here!!!!

So, it's been quite a while since my last post. I am so happy to share with you that means Little buddy has finally made his debut into this world!! He was born last Wednesday, December 3rd at 8:25 a.m. Justin and I were totally wrong in thinking were going to have a beast of a baby - he was just a tiny little guy, weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces, and was 19 1/2 inches.

I could go on and on describing him - he is so perfect! I guess that officially means I am a mommy now - doesn't every parent think his or her child is perfect?!?! But, Little buddy really is perfect! He has a ton of black hair that gets really fuzzy when we give him a bath - it is so adorable. He looks like a little baby penguin. He has super long eyelashes that are beautiful. Although I have absolutely no expectations for this to continue - I hear it's referred to as "the honeymoon phase of parenting",and only lasts about two weeks, he sleeps at night in between feedings. He is so PERFECT!!!

There is so much more I want to share about our first week of being parents, but I am going to heed the advice of many and sleep while the baby is sleeping! I promise to do better at keeping up with the blog now that we have a week under our belt.

Oh yeah - the most important part!! Little buddy now has a name! He is officially Owen Glen Myers (although I have a feeling many will call him Little buddy for a while!) :)

Here are some pictures of our little peanut!
