Quinn Robert Wong's Birthday

Today Quinn is one week old -I can't believe it!

I went into the hospital on Thursday the 20th to be induced. I had over 14 hours of contractions, but never fully went into labor. Twice during that night Quinn's heart rate dropped quite low, but then rebounded. When this happened a third time the nurse couldn't find his heartbeat for seven minutes so the doctor decided I needed an immediate c-section. James and I were both so nervous. We prayed together, and I was wheeled into the delivery room. I will spare you all the gory details of what was probably the scariest experience of my life, and suffice it to say that Quinn Robert Wong was born at 12:20 pm on Friday August 21st weighing 5 lbs 4 ounces and measuring 18 inches long and was completely healthy . He didn't need any special medication attention and James was able to hold him right away.

Just a few minutes old

Quinn's first visitors were his Grammie and Grampa Glidden. He has met his Aunt Leah, Uncle Isaac and his girlfriend, Katie, and my cousins Morgan, Mike, Sydney, and Aamie. Next weekend Grandma and Grampa Wong are coming to visit us from Maryland.

4 days old

James and I are both so in love with Quinn. I have never felt so at peace in my life as I do when I'm holding him. We are amazed at how much laundry a little baby can make and how little we are sleeping, but Quinn is a wonderful baby - he rarely cries and he loves to be held. He is truly a gift from God.
