Welcome to the World Owen!

Last night we headed to the hospital in Boston, right as it was starting to snow! Mom made it in just in time and went with us. Abbey came over to stay with the kids. We were hoping to stay at the hospital and not get sent home...we got our wish! I was in active labor and they checked me into a labor room last night around 10:30. Eight and a half hours later we welcomed Owen Jon Chasteen into the world! He weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds and 4 ounces and is 21 inches long. I was thankful to have a wonderful nurse, a great doctor and a husband and mom who helped me make it through labor and delivery! Abbey had the kids last night and most of the day today. They really enjoyed the snow and had a blast playing in it. Tonight the kids were able to come up and meet their little brother! They were so excited to meet him, hold him and love on him! Thank you for praying for us and rejoicing with us as we have added the newest member to our family!

Jon loved watching it snow through the night as we waited for Owen's arrival!
