If these first four weeks have been any kind of insight into Owen's future, we will definitely have our hands full, because our littlest buddy is quite the ladies man!
I am not kidding when I tell you that the nurses are constantly coming by his "office" to sneak a peek because they just cannot get over how cute he is. :) From his blonde hair to his blue eyes to his sweet smile, he is absolutely precious. (We might be a little biased because he is our son, but seriously, look at these pictures!)
Two months ago, if you would have asked me how I would spend our first summer in Texas, I would have told you that I would be back in Illinois for the month of June and that I would spend July preparing for Owen's arrival. Owen's early arrival caught us all by surprise, but Vince and I will forever tell you that it has been the best surprise of our lives. He is a miracle. So Tiny. So Perfect. So loved.
Yesterday was our baby shower (and Grandpa Tom's birthday). We are so grateful for those of you who made it to Sublette to celebrate! Technology is pretty amazing these days...being able to Skype into the shower and let you all meet Owen was such a special experience. Each and every day he continues to show us just how much of a little warrior he is. We hope you were able to capture that in the few minutes that you spent with him and that he was able to bring a smile to your face! :)
Owen continues to grow stronger with each day that passes. Yesterday we had to ask his nurse to cut off both of his hospital bracelets because they were too tight! Can you even believe that?! So exciting!!! And...he weighed in at 3 pounds, 3 ounces!
Every NICU baby is measured on Saturday nights, so last night was another big night! I just called Owen's nurse to get the update on his new stats, but she had stepped out for breakfast so she didn't have the numbers in front of her. Since Vince and I are going to Owen's office for lunch, I will post a new update later today with his current weight and length! His nurse was able to tell me though, that Owen christened her into his circle of trust by pooping all over his outfit and blanket! Such a good boy he is! (And I think he has set a record in these last 3 days of the most outfit changes needed in between baths due to poopie diapers! I think he just wants to make sure that there is always laundry to be done...isn't he so thoughtful?!)
We hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Enjoy the sunshine. Count your blessings. Be grateful.

The Jamisons
p.s. Welcome to the world, baby Charlie! We cannot wait to meet you!
