The boys are so excited to have a new baby brother. Quinn is such a perfect baby, he doesn't cry much and only then it's more like a queek. We think he looks like, Steve when he was born from the pictures we have seen. The labor went well, complication & drug free, about 4 1/2 hrs, it was an induction due to low heart tones. Mom and Baby both doing good, it's a relief it's all over. Due to his weight I think it's obvious he was over cooked..heheh! (yeah the 17th my due date according to my cycle) I never thought I could have a near 10 lb baby. Never the less he's healthy and all is well. It's so nice to be home and all together as a family again. I will post more pictures later...The view, is the view from my hospital window. The hospital was great they were so nice, I left the Maturnity ward with about 5 friends, since we I got admitted I had 2 room mates and they were locals who spoke english, from other islands who came to have help in their pregancies, the portugese I know came in handy, many nurses didnt speak English, food was good. I got Coffee and a roll for breakfast so I'm glad I packed some Nutra grain bars in bag. There are many details to the story, but I'm keeping it short.
