New Baby Boy

Been a little busy the past several hours. No reading, no posting. We've been having a baby. Joseph Owen was born at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 16. He weighed 9lbs. 4oz. and was 22.5 inches long. Everyone is doing well. This was my first home birth. We coupled that with a water birth and had a very good experiences. I was nervous about aspects of it right up until delivery, but my wife did a fantastic job and everything went smoothly. We are all resting now. The siblings are home for a little while and have been loving on Owen nonstop.
A bit on the name, Joseph Owen. Joseph happens to be my fathers middle name, and we like to use family names when we can. Aside from that, we both love the biblical narrative of Joseph. It is one of the best stories in the Old Testament in my opinion. Owen was a name we've wanted to use for a boy for a while now. Owen is taken from the Puritan minister John Owen (1616-1683). Owen is best known for his several volume commentary on Hebrews and his writings on the Atonement (The Death of Death in the Death of Christ), mortification of sin in the believer, and the Holy Spirit. He was Oliver Cromwells' chaplain during the English Civil War (1642-1651). Although not participating in the Westminster Assembly, he was active in the creation of the Savoy Declaration, which is based on the Westmisnter Confession of Faith.
OK, here are some pictures:
