Quinn finally made it home yesterday at about 1pm. The big brothers are very excited to have him home. They both kept coming into our room just to look at Quinn sleeping in his crib. Too cute. William has already asked for diaper changing lessons. I am sure that enthusiasm will wear off once he actually changes a diaper though! LOL.
Quinn is doing very well. We go into the doctor tomorrow to make sure everything is still on track with his breathing. He is quite the lazy eater. It was difficult to get even an ounce in him before he would fall asleep. We are working on the breatfeeding, but right now he gets too worn out. His nurse suggested to start each session with a little breastfeeding, just to get him used to it and then to switch to the bottle. I am going to go to a breastfeeding support group on Thursdays until I go back to work. Hopefully by then we will have him track with is feedings. I am pumping milk for the little guy, so at least he is getting the good stuff:)
Thanks again for all the prayers. He was a pretty sick guy and I know God's healing hand was on him.
William, you look so happy holding your baby brother! What a joy for each person in your family. Quinn is not fully aware of how blessed he is to be a in your family. It is so great that each person can love another person with all of their heart and still have more love to share. Love you, William. Grandma Janet
ReplyDeleteAlexander, Quinn looks so comfortable as you hold him in your arms and on your lap. You look so happy having another brother. You really are blessed by God, and let's thank Him for helping Quinn to healthy and home with the family. Let's keep in touch by email. I'm so happy for each of you, and proud to have three grandsons.
Love and prayers. Grandma Janet
Joe, what i nice picture of you and your new born son, holding and loving him so tenderly.
Quinn is so privileged having you as his father.
Teresa, you look so happy having Quinn in your arms at home, and sharing him with Joe, Zan and Will. What an awesome family. Hope you will be able to get more sleep and rest. What a difficult
schedule 24 x 7. Just passing on advice given to me years ago, when you were a new born until you were sleeping through the night...
"let some things go" and "give yourself time to take a nap,even for 1/2-1 hour when baby is sleeping."
It will really make a difference on how you feel, regain your energy, stay well, remain calm and happy. Love you. MOM
