so the fish said

Welcome, baby Owen! So exciting, congratulations to the Cactus-Fish family!

And just as an aside: I hope the Phil Collins thing was a joke. I would've been homicidal if that had been playing while I was in labor.

Posted by cindy w | February 10, 2008 7:18 PM

Oh Happy Day!

Posted by Darlene | February 10, 2008 7:20 PM

Congrats! I love the name and Clive would be honored!

Posted by Lacy | February 10, 2008 7:22 PM

Congratulations!! And welcome to baby Owen -- good job listening to Mama. :-)

Glad everyone is doing well. I'm sitting here grinning ear to ear and hardly know what to say! Can't wait to see pictures and hear all the details (when everyone is sufficiently bonded and at least somewhat rested, that is).

Posted by Sandy | February 10, 2008 7:24 PM

I'm so happy for you all - big congratulations!!!

Posted by Beth in StL | February 10, 2008 7:26 PM

Ohhh, congratulations! I can't wait to see pictures of little Owen!

CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy!

Posted by Karly | February 10, 2008 7:29 PM

Awesome! Is he bald like Phil Collins?

Posted by ben | February 10, 2008 7:32 PM

I only discovered your blog a week or so ago, but I am delighted I did so in time to say welcome to your new arrival. Congratulations to all concerned :-)

Posted by Juju | February 10, 2008 7:33 PM

Congratulations and Best Wishes to you all!

Posted by J from Ireland | February 10, 2008 7:37 PM

Oh how I love the name Owen! :) And how appropriate since your celebrity boyfriend is CLIVE Owen. I still think it's funny that Mia was SCARED of her baby brother's name!

Congratulations on your first eviction letter having it's desired effect! You & all of yours are in my prayers!

Posted by Sarah | February 10, 2008 7:38 PM

Congratulations! I have been obsessively checking for news- so happy for you! Definitely excited to see pictures and hear how Mia is doing with all of this.

Posted by 3jaysmom | February 10, 2008 7:49 PM

Wow...What wonderful news!! I can finally stop checking your blogs every 10 minutes!!! And I too love the name Owen. Can't wait to see how beautiful he is. And I would like to suggest that you might want to invest in some "Pee Pee Tee-pees". Sweet precious little baby boys tend to let their "hoses" go at the first draft of out of diaper air!! You've been warned!!

Posted by Michelle | February 10, 2008 7:51 PM

AWESOME. I love that name. Between you and Sundry, there is some wonderful news (and names!) in the blogosphere.

Oh, happy, happy day. Congratulations.

Posted by jonniker | February 10, 2008 7:51 PM

Oh my goodness, congratulations!! I had a feeling he was coming sometime this weekend -- that was an awesome threat in that last post. =) So I've been coming here somewhat obsessively in the hope of news, and here it is! Welcome, baby Owen! I can't wait to meet the new little Cactus-Fish!

Posted by Jennie | February 10, 2008 7:53 PM

Yay! Yay! Yay!! Congratulations to the entire Cactus-Fish family. Welcome to the world little Owen!

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear the details and see that little man!

Posted by donna | February 10, 2008 8:01 PM

Oh wonderful! Thank you for naming your first born son after my first born son. I so appreciate it!

Seriously, Owen is a strong name and it will serve him well. Love to all of you!!

Posted by Karen | February 10, 2008 8:18 PM

Huzzah! Congratulations Cactus-Fish family! I love the name. Mia was scared of Owen? Huh. It's adorable. Can't wait to see pictures of the big guy and hear all about the labor and delivery. (Within reason, of course.) VBAC was a success I take it? So excited for everyone. :)

Posted by Meegan | February 10, 2008 8:19 PM

Woo hoo!!! Congratulations! Thanks for letting us know, Chris. I'm so happy for you all. Hope Beth's feeling OK physically (I'm sure she's feeling great emotionally).

Posted by Meg | February 10, 2008 8:19 PM

Congratulations! What wonderful news - glad to hear everyone is doing so well. Can't wait to hear more. But first - get all the rest you can.

Posted by Amy | February 10, 2008 8:23 PM

It's almost as if he knew he was about to be evicted. Welcome to this wonderful and crazy world, baby Owen!

Posted by sarah | February 10, 2008 8:25 PM

Yay!! Congrats! Hope you are doing well... my baby too was 9lbs 3oz almost 3 years ago!

Posted by Leanne | February 10, 2008 8:27 PM

WOOT! Great news. Congratulations! Can't wait to see the photos. Hope you're feeling well.

Posted by Pocklock | February 10, 2008 8:30 PM

Wonderful! Welcome, little Owen!!

Posted by Nichole | February 10, 2008 8:33 PM

Oh wow, a gigantic congratulations to the whole family! Your lives will never be the same, but in about a week you won't be able to recall life without little Owen in it. (At least in my experience.)

Enjoy a much deserved break, Beth. Allow everyone to dote on you!!

Posted by Sabrina | February 10, 2008 8:34 PM

Congrats to the whole Cactus-Fish family! Can't wait to see pictures! Plus, I think it's kind of cool that Owen arrived on my birthday!

Hooray! Welcome Owen! I love the name!

Posted by Phoebe | February 10, 2008 8:59 PM

Congratulations ! I'm glad he's healthy. I hope you're feeling alright Beth. Owen is a great name. I teach a boy named Owen and he is very creative and well-mannered. Not that it means much (or anything at all) but I think it's good vibes.

Posted by Heather | February 10, 2008 9:00 PM

Welcome, baby Owen! And see, Mommy really wasn't fucking around. Make a note of it.

I can't help but giggle at the "You Can't Hurry Love" and "You Can't Hurry Owen" thing...

Bad, Pam. Bad.

Posted by Pammer | February 10, 2008 9:02 PM

Smart little boy you have that already knows when Mommy means business ;) LOL

Posted by Jules | February 10, 2008 9:22 PM

I am so happy for you! My daughter is currently nesting like crazy in anticipation of her second child (so now she'll have a girl to go along with her rambunctious two-year old boy!). I can hardly wait to see pictures! I guess when Mommy speaks, Owen really does listen!

Posted by Golden Girl | February 10, 2008 9:25 PM

Posted by Dana | February 10, 2008 9:42 PM

Whooooooooooo!!!

If she couldn't stand Phil before, now she'll associate him with labor pains and *really* hate him.

Congrats!!!!!

Posted by Cobwebs | February 10, 2008 9:51 PM

Congratulations!!!

Posted by Laurie | February 10, 2008 9:59 PM

CONGRATULATIONS!!

and...hmm, I will theorize that the labor (if there was one) ended in a c-section, because I can't imagine any other situation in which music the mother didn't want was played during a birth. If that's the case, I hope you are healing well.

Posted by Penny | February 10, 2008 10:00 PM

CONGRATS!!!

Very very happy for your little family of 4!

Posted by Anna | February 10, 2008 10:01 PM

Posted by Elaine | February 10, 2008 10:43 PM

Welcome, little Owen! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Sounds like the little man is already listening to Mommy.

P.S. I think I might have killed someone if Phil Collins was playing in my delivery room.

Posted by mags | February 10, 2008 10:46 PM

Happy birthday Owen! Welcome to the world, can't wait to see your handsome little face. :)

Posted by Teenuh | February 10, 2008 10:51 PM

Posted by ckirby50 | February 11, 2008 9:40 AM

Congratulations!!! So good to hear that Owen arrived before Monday! The middle name Gregory is an excellent choice as well--I'm a little biased b/c I brought it up as a middle name in the tremendous comment section for the boy name entry!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, and good sleep! Cheers!

Congratulations to all the Cactus-Fish & Welcome Owen (LOVE the name)!!

Owen is almost as timely as Sydney... My water broke as I was getting ready to leave the house to be induced. I was getting my epidural at the scheduled time of my induction!

Congrats you guys, well done!
