Hi from the Hospital!

Things have certainly changed since we were in the maternity ward with Owen – mobile phones are preferred over the landline, and there is no problem at all using Marc’s wireless internet to update you all on the New Harvey’s progress.  So here I am, blogging while Marc talks to the baby, who’s just had his first bath and is all dolled up in his very first Wondersuit.    

Did Marc mention to anyone that he is the spitting image of his big brother?!  Well, he is.  Right down to his birth weight and his cranky Mr Magoo expression.  I did suggest we call him “Owen II” but for some reason Marc didn’t think that was a good idea….

So, we finally decided on a name.  Can’t keep calling this baby “Boy”, or as I have been doing all day, “Owen.  Oh, I mean Boy”….  So we have finally decided to call Owen’s little brother Reuben Carter Harvey. 

Now I just need to remember that that’s his name and stop calling him Owen :D

Hi Meegan,
I just love the name. Reuben is lovely but I think Carter is inspired – But not surprising. I can’t wait to have your mums description of Owens first meeting with his brother . Look forward to more pictures too. I forwarded an email from Dave Mackay to your email re their new baby – loks of pictures too and he was only born this morning!!!Love to you all – you done great girl!!!

Congratulations! I’ve been reading with baited breath waiting for the news. I can’t believe you have even been up blogging about it. You’re a superhero! He looks perfectly wonderful as do you. Thanks for posting.

Mim said she doesn’t like the name Reuben, because Reuben at daycare says “fook” and is mean. We are now distinguishing between “Mean Reuben” and “Owen’s little brother, Reuben”. This will be tricky!
