Henry Derek Bowen

Well it took me long enough to get some pictures added on to our site. Henry was born at 11:24 p.m. on Friday January 30th. I was scheduled to be induced the next morning at 6 a.m. He just didn't want to wait until Saturday. Now our boys all have different birth months but their birthdays are on the 30th, 31st and 1st. We thought that was fun. Henry was back up to his birth weight by 5 days old. He is doing really well. His brothers love to hold him and help out around the house. We were very fortunate to have good friends here to help with the boys Kerri Schow watched the boys. We thought we were just going in to get checked however they said I was ready to go. The boys slept over at Kerri and Blake's house. Our dear friend Kate Blair was kind enough to go pick up Nate's mom Anne at the airport at 9:00 and bring her to the hospital so she was there when Henry was born. That was another great blessing, to have her there all week. It was so nice having all her help with food, cleaning and the boys. Nate of course is amazing. He has taken care of everything for me. I am recovering very quickly because he has not let me lift a finger. He has the boys wrapped around his finger. They adore their dad. I love it. We are so happy to have Henry here!

Thanks for posting pictures! You know I'm much better at blogging than facebook, and surprisingly (or not at all) Chris forgot to tell me that Nate had posted pictures. Anyways, Henry is too cute and I can't wait to see all of you in one week! Can you believe it - one week! Yay! :)
