Austin Jairl Dowell II

November 25th after a long week of prodromal labor....our sweet Little Austin made his appearance. Austin took 2 weeks off from work, and one of those weeks was spent walking, laying around, eating spicy food and a whollleeeee LOT of pineapple. We walked about 16 miles that week...I wore holes on the insides of my favorite leopard boots (the only shoes that fit) from walking so much. He was born at 3:37 p.m. on a Sunday and weighed 7 Lbs. & 11.5 oz. he was 21 1/4 inches long. He had a short NICU stay (48 hours) so he could be monitored and given antibiotics for some breathing issues.

We are all so in love with this little boy!!!
