Baby Rowan

Rowan David Paine was born at 1:00pm on Oct 18, 2013. He is 7lb 10oz and 20" long.

Rowan was born at home.  (Some of you may know that Allie was born at home by mistake.) This time it was on purpose and Jen was assisted by 2 great midwives.  As with Allie, the labor was very quick - about 1 hour.

Rowan has been eating and sleeping well right off the bat.  Silas and Allie are very excited to have a little brother.  This time Silas was at school but Allie got to be there right after baby Rowan was born.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and encouragement!  Jen will want to do a more complete post once she's feeling up to it, but for now, these two photos will have to do.
