Our First Night Together

Here I am with Momma just a couple of minutes after I was born.
                                                                 
...and with Dad later that day!

Room 334 is the "Nesting" room the nurses provided us for some quality family time.

This is one of my favorite things to do.

Here I am with my Momma on our first night alone together (though still at the hospital).

And here's Daddy feeding me shortly before we left this hospital (another favorite thing to do).

The charge nurse from the nursery, named "Glo," (really Gregoria), made a room available last night for Quinn, Donna, and Jeff to sleep in together.  He spent his first night in the nursery after a tiring day of sleeping and entertaining visitors.  One of the three of us did some sleeping, and it was a night full of feeding, diaper changes, and what we're calling "squawking."  Precious time together, indeed.

WOW~makes me want to sing one of our favorite children's songs: "Our God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do ... for you!" Welcome, Quinn! I love you! Auntie Mieke

I am also crying, maybe Danae and I should get together and celebrate. I am sooooo happy for your/our family. Please let him know for me how long we have been waiting for him and how much we already love him. Also tell him that we share a special bond because both of our names start with the letter Q.
