Bowden Owen Pearson

Yep, today was someone's special birthday! He arrived at 7:12 am, 20 inches long, and weighed in at....7lbs 6 oz! A peanut compared to the other 2! I am so scared I will break him...He is beautiful.... he looks like his sister, but not as much hair. Or pounds.



When P and E came to meet him! If you are family, or from Paris, you recognize the shirts. I used my dad's signature (and store logo) to create these shirts for the kids. They will of course have a photoshoot all together in a few days.




Parker said he would hold him when we come home from the hospital.

Today was a rough day for me...and Stacey. I kind of had a reaction...passed a LARGE clot, almost passed out, blood pressure shot down, and the nurses declared NO VISITORS for the rest of the day. SO, from about 11 am on...it was just the 3 of us. We were bored. Bowden is an amazing baby. All he does is sleep...and an occasional feeding. Since I was kind of confined to the bed today and felt better when my eyes were shut, the photo shoots were minimal and from all the same angle!

We did the kangaroo thing today, for us to bond since I was kind of out of it, and he wasn't eating as well as he did at the beginnng of the day. Stacey is being amazing, so supportive and loving. I am looking forward to tomorrow so that others can see this sweet baby!

I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE LITTLE BOWDEN! HE IS SO SWEET!

If they declare no visitors tomorrow, I am going to bust through the barriors b/c that is what we Cagle's do in times like this. I have been praying for you ALL DAY LONG-take it easy and I gurantee this chick will get past the security at the door either tomorrow or Saturday.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

I had heard rumor that Bowden was being born yesterday...and checked your blog multiple times to see if it was true!

Yeah for sweet Bowden and his healthy delivery. Hope that you are feeling better today and he is eating well.

I love his sweet angel kisses/stork bites on his face. Evelyn had those and I was sad when they started to fade. He is beautiful!

Welcome to our world, Bowden. Your name brings two proud men to my mind immediately. Paige, you look good to have undergone birthday activities. Sweet family. We look forward to seeing the whole family.
God Bless,
Lynda and Sue

Was so excited to get to work because I knew I could finally see him instead of just hearing all about him! (Not that talking to you wasn't good- I definitely wanted to hear you voice!)
Hope you are better today. Can't wait until these arms heal so I can come and get my hands on him. He's precious, but what else did I expect since his siblings are as well! Love you all!!!

Margaret K said...

Paige, you look awesome. Parker and Emaline must be so excited. Their shirts are the cutest. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!

Sorry you had that little bump in the road yesterday. I hope today has been better. Can't wait to see Bowden in person and hug you ALL! Buddy has talked and talked about him and will be excited to see more pictures.
