The Mighty Quinn (you know...from
the song?)
August started with Mommy really ready
for Quinn to come out. We had scheduled
a c-section, "just in case", but nobody
thought Quinn would wait that long.
However, he was much more patient than
Allyssa!
We had our 18th annual friends and family
reunion, but the weather was pretty bad,
so we spent more time in the house than
usual.
Quinnell Grahamme Nonis was born on
8/13/2010 (Friday the 13th, our lucky
day!) at 8:28 AM (@39 weeks). He was 9
lbs 5.2 oz, 20 inches long and his head was
14.5 inches in circumference.
The operation went quickly, although
Quinnell was big enough it took a lot of
work for the doctor to get him out, so
everyone agreed it was a good idea he
went c-section. Click here for his baby
pictures.
The rest of August is a bit of blur, with lots
of visitors, getting back into "baby mode",
but also trying to keep the older kids
entertained. Matthew seemed to relish his
role of Kuya (oldest brother), but Allyssa
found herself still caught in the
middle...wanting to do everything
Matthew was allowed to do, but still wear
diapers and have Mommy all the time.
She's a brave girl though, and is finally
adapting to her new role as "Ate" (oldest
sister).
