Our Little Nephew Has Arrived

Yesterday, after about seventeen and a half hours of labor, our sister-in-law, Elly, had their first baby. Matthew Allen Bowden arrived around 1:30 PM on May 19th. He was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 19 inches long.



Grandma and Grandpa Bowden, Rae, Scott, Bethany and Megan Davidson, Jeremy, me, Mom, Dad, and Cleo (Elly's mom) were at the hospital awaiting the arrival. Mom, Cleo, and Grandma and Grandpa were the only ones to stay at the hospital for the whole thing. Jeremy and I had to go home to sleep for a little while, and Dad had to go conduct a hearing.

Elly was a trouper. She will be recovering for a couple of days, and then mom and baby should be able to return home.

Congratulations Darren and Elly!!
