Owen Michael McDonald was born at 3:48 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1, to parents Morgan Davey and Lenny McDonald. Owen weighed in at just 4 pounds, 9 ounces and 17.5 inches; “a little peanut” as his grandmother Pamela McDonald describes him.

Owen decided to come into the world a little earlier than expected, a week to be exact.

In honor of the occasion, Owen’s hospital room at the Birth Center Mercy Health Partners-Hackley Campus was decorated with many different streamers and signs stating “First baby of 2013.”.
