I’ve had a wonderful time getting to know Cam and Melissa‘s new son, Owen Matthew Bahan, aka Kid 2.0 🙂 He was born this past Wednesday morning. After receiving a midnight phone call, I headed over to the Bahan residence. At the time of the call, contractions were still 12 minutes apart. We hung out and watched TV, until, around 2am, it was time to head to the hospital.
Joseph was already in bed; as labour-sitter, all I had to do was go to sleep 🙂 Woke up at 7am to Joseph wandering into my room and asking where mommy and daddy were. That didn’t last long, though. I got him on the potty and dressed, and downstairs we went. “Cars” on the TV; I warmed up some milk, which he downed readily; I got ready; fed him some oatmeal and lo and behold, at about 8:30, I got a phone call inviting us to the hospital.
Owen is a cute kid! Holding him I remember why I’m squeamish about babies. They’re freaking tiny! Joe seems like a giant next to him. But what I thought was really amazing was the way Melissa was up and about so soon after labour. That girl is crazy — she was up out of bed and and holding two two-year olds within a few hours of giving birth. That’s strong stuff.

Went over to Cam and Melissa’s with Louis and Tori last night to visit Owen, and the bruising on his face has reduced considerably. He’s looking healthy and happy. Still trying to figure out who he looks more like, Cam or Melissa… I suppose we’ll know in a month or so.
All my best to you, Owen, and to your parents too. 🙂

A weekend for me
Had a great weekend; spent a little “me-time”, which, if you’ve been keeping score, I’ve been lacking lately. Saturday, got myself down to Red Bug Slough Preserve, which is down South on Beneva; I’ve been meaning to go for at least a year now, and finally got to go.
I took a few panoramics this time, reasonably huge versions of which you can get by clicking on the images below; get the superbig versions by clicking here, here, or here.
I’ve posted a bunch of pics from the trip in a new gallery, which you can view by clicking on the pine cone.
Today headed out to the ice rink with Cam, Melissa, Joe, Shannon, Christopher and Tiffany. Fun times were had; afterwards, Cam, Melissa, Joe and I headed to the outlet mall next door and I picked myself up a backpack for cycling into work with and a French press (something I’ve been wanting for years). Afterwards, we went to the local Chinese/Thai restaurant, where I enjoyed a good Thai basil-chicken dish. All this was topped by watching an episode of one of my favorite TV series, Firefly, back at Cam/Melissa’s. 🙂
