2 Weeks Old!

Today Quinn is officially two weeks old. Crazy how much life has changed in those two weeks! We are working on turning his self-imposed schedule around so that we sleep when it is dark instead of fighting through the exhaustion while the sun is glaring. Yes, yes, I know he is only two weeks old but it is never too early to start when you are this tired!

Isaiah has been an amazing help since we returned home from the hospital. He adores Quinn and gives him kisses non-stop. I have actually had to threaten him to stop him from kissing and loving Quinn while he is sleeping. He loves to hold him, he watches him and has really stepped up his independence. Just an awesome big brother! To explain the slideshow...there are so many pics of family that I decided to make a quick video of Isaiah and Quinn bonding and included a couple of the grandmas...

We have had TONS of help and lots of visitors...mainly family which has been wonderful. G'ma Troyer and Aunt Megan spent several days with us. Mom pretty much cooked non-stop and spent several nights relieving Quinn's very very very tired parents while he screamed bloody murder. I had a slight tearful good-bye although I am happy to say it had nothing to do with fear this time around (like with Isaiah...) it was just a feeling of immense gratitude and love (there was also probably some exhaustion playing a part but love was there nonetheless). They were followed by an overnight trip for Kristin, Paula, Scott and Leegan. Eric's mom, "Grandma Sue" arrived Easter evening and will be here for a couple of weeks. She has been with us until today when she left to spend some time with E's sister. She will float back and forth between the houses and grandkids....

Our small group with church has lovingly supplied several meals which has been a tremendous blessing...cannot thank them enough for the love and support they have shown us! The unexpected relationships in this group continues to amaze me and again, I realize, we are blessed!
