A Big "Si" of Relief

He's here! Silas Thoma Dowdy was born Saturday, August 26 at 6:17am--a healthy 9 lbs 1oz, 23 inch boy. The delivery was relatively fast for going natural--Faith went into labor Friday night at 8pm and we headed to the hospital around 1:30am that night.

We're still in awe and exhaustion over the whole ordeal--labor, delivery, our first day, our first night, etc. I won't go into any more specific details right now, but would love to if anyone has any specific questions. In the meantime, here are some of his first photos:


A Babe in Swaddling Clothes


ANY Dowdy Baby must have his own supply of tye-dyed clothes!


The first picture ever taken of Silas....what a beaut.
This is literally within the first 2 minutes of his birth.


Daddy changes his first diaper.


One happy family.


Thanks be to God.

Congratulations! I love the name but I can't believe you dressed him in tye-dye. He's one lucky little kid.

A group and I are writing doing a project about the World Hunger Farm for a Social Work class, HBSE II, so I may be in touch with you about that.

Congrats, Julie spoke with Faith the other evening, just wanted to add my bit. Preplanning the tye-dye wardrobe confirms that you and Faith will be EXCELLENT parents.
