Quinlan's first trip to a pumpkin patch. Although not as good as the ones you can find in Vermont, this one at a local farm was fun to visit. We had a good time walking around trying to find the best pumpkins to carve. Quinlan enjoyed some of the experience while other parts were less satisfying. We took this chance to take our first family photo and although Mom and Dad are tired, we could not ask for a better baby. We love our new life and can not wait to experience more firsts as they come along for Quinlan.

Quinlan's favourite place to sleep

Wide Awake




Baby Quinlan is growing so fast and eating constantly. These first two weeks have passed so quickly. Everyday his personalty come to the forefront. He still spends the majority of time sleeping but every once in a while he wakes up and we get to enjoy a few moments of non-crying time. He is fascinated by shadows and will stare at them wide eyed for as long as his hunger holds out. Mom is loving the time home with him, she is getting really good at doing things one handed. Dad likes hanging out with him when he comes home from work but since he does not have milky breasts the time it does not last long! We love him so much and cannot imagine our lives without him.

We want to introduce you to baby Quinlan. It is a Scottish Gaelic name meaning 'small blond warrior.' He was born at 7:58 on Tuesday morning weighing5 pounds 15 ounces. He measured 19 inches long with long fingers and toes.

SORRY it took so long to post but due to some minor complications we were held up at the hospital for 4 days. First, they wanted to check his blood sugar because he was a tad small and it came back low so we had to stay until that was corrected. After that a midwife noticed that he had as light yellowing of the face so they ran another blood test for jaundice. That held us up a couple more days but we are now home and made it happily through the first night. Dad took the early shift until 3:00 AM and mom took over so dad could get some sleep! We are grateful for our little miracle and so unbelievably happy that he is finally home.
