One Month!!!

Where does the time go?!?! Quincy celebrated her one month "birthday" on Sunday, June 28th. We didn't have an "official" weigh-in, but we had our own unofficial weigh-in with the bathroom scale. :) According to our calculations, she is now weighing in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces and almost 22 inches long. She is VERY alert, holds her head up really well, loves "tummy time," reading stories with Daddy and going for car rides and walks in her stroller. She is sleeping great and only gets up twice in the night for feedings (once around 1 am and then around 4 am). Last Monday (June 29th) she rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time too! It may have been a fluke, but we're pretty sure she's gifted! :)

Father's Day!!

Yep... I know totally cheesy, but this picture makes my heart skip a beat every time I look at it! Happy 1st Father's Day to the most amazing husband and NOW Dad!! Also, a special thanks to all the Dads in our life... We love you!!

2 Week Doctor's Appointment - June 15, 2009

Quincy had her 2 week appointment with her Pediatrician here in AZ! Adam wanted to let everyone know that we have the coolest Pediatrician ever since he's named after a cookie :)

Here are her stats (the percentages are what percentile she is compared to other babies her age):
7 pounds 10 ounces (45%)
20 1/2 inches long (50%)
14 inch head circumference (25%)

WOHOO!! She has gained back her birth weight AND some!! She's such a good little eater (fits right into the fam!!). Dr. "Cookie" gave her a clean bill of health and said he would see us at her 2 month appointment. Next appointment will be her first set of vaccines. Not sure who is more scared... Quincy or Mom?! :)

We Made it Home AND First Bath!

Well, we made it home safely and survived the drive... barely!! :) Quincy did great! She slept the majority of the 15 hours and only cried the last 30 minutes or so. By that time, Sunny was crying too, so we understood!! :) We pulled in to our home around midnight. What an amazing adventure we were on and the best part... there is still more to come!!

The next day, we gave Quincy her first "real" bath. She wasn't a huge fan, but these pictures sure are cute!

Pediatrician Visit and SLC!

The day we were scheduled to leave Idaho, Quincy woke up with her eye looking like this! Let's just say it totally freaked us both out... we are definitely first time parents. :) We rushed to SLC from Poky and thanks to an amazing "hook up," were able to get right into the Pediatrician. It pays to have Adam's Mom, an RN work for a Pediatrician! :) Turns out it was nothing more than a blocked tear duct and with drops, it cleared up in a few days!! First crisis solved! :)

Her stats that day were:
7 pounds 1 ounce (20th percentile)
20.5 inches long (63rd percentile)

We stayed in Salt Lake a few extra days before heading home so were able to spend more time with Adam's family and of course show her off :) Thank you to EVERYONE who stopped by and spoiled her! We are so lucky to have people all over who love and support us!!

Adam's parents, Paul (Adam's brother), Shilo (Paul's fiance) and Chester the dog!

Photo shoot!

Before we left Idaho, we wanted to get pictures done with Quincy, Morgan and Josh. We wanted to have some nice pictures for ourselves AND we definitely wanted them to have some beautiful pictures as well. We were not disappointed!! Thank you to Nema Blanchard for some amazing pictures!!!!

Our Stay in Idaho!

Before we could leave Idaho, we had to wait for our Interstate Compact to go through. Basically you have to get permission from Idaho AND Arizona in order for us to cross the state lines. We ended up being in Pocatello for a little over a week. We LOVED having the time to spend with just the 3 of us as well as visiting with Morgan, Josh and their families and also having our parents come up to see their granddaughter for the first time too! We seemed to eat at Ruby Tuesdays (the restaurant right next to our hotel) WAY too often, got to see Idaho Falls AND the inside of our hotel room :) There isn't too much you can do in Poky with a newborn!! We did a lot of "photo shoots" in our hotel room too... poor Quincy, the darn camera flash is ALWAYS going off!! :)June 3rd - Happy Birthday Sunny!!!

Adam will NEVER be able to top this Birthday!!! :) June 3rd was also the day that Morgan and Josh were to appear in court. They invited us to attend as well. You should have seen the crowd we had! The Judge said he never sees that kind of support at an adoption hearing. Just goes to show you how much Morgan and Josh are loved! After court they invited us over to Morgan's parent's home for a bbq. Little did we know when we got there, they had planned a birthday party for Sunny. Have we told you how amazing Morgan, Josh and their families are?!?! We just love you guys!!!!!

Placement Day - June 2, 2009

Here are a few pictures from placement day. As you can imagine, it was quite an emotional day. We were able to have placement at the LDS Family Services office in Pocatello. Morgan, Josh, Quincy, Morgan's parents, her sister and Josh's Mom were all there as well. What a special time we were able to share and one we will never forget!

At the Hospital!

Hospital Room 311 (Just like the band!!)

Dr. Yost - The Pediatrician at the hospital

Getting her first exam. She's PERFECT! Not that we needed a Pediatrician to tell us this :)

Her first bath!

She covered her eyes anytime there were bright lights! She still does this :)

Taking the pacifier for the first time... what a suck-er!! :)

She was and still is a good little eater!

Her first bows... get used to them, Quincy!!

Yep, the CUTEST baby ever!! Not that we are biased or anything :)

Already has him wrapped around her little finger!!

She wore this dress home from the hospital. It has a very special meaning behind it. Morgan, her sister and Morgan's mom all wore this dress home from the hospital as well. We also were able to give Morgan and Josh each one of the pink shoes she wore home.

Leaving the hospital. All loaded up and ready to go!!

Quincy's Birth Day! May 31, 2009

At 4:30 we were called back into Morgan's room and told it was time! She still had not received an epidural and by this point, there was no time! 16 minutes later of pushing and NO drugs... Quincy Morgan made her debut at 4:49 PM!!!!! Both of us were able to be in the delivery room and Adam was able to cut the umbilical cord! AMAZING!!!

We both followed Quincy as she was weighed, cleaned off, etc. She weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long. She managed to pee on the nurse as she was cleaning her off too :) Yep, that's our daughter!! We also were able to have the nurse take three sets of footprints (one for us, Morgan and Josh). Sunny was able to put her first diaper on.

From this point on, everything is kind of a blur :) Quincy quickly became a social butterfly as she was passed around and visited with all of the on lookers! Morgan was able to hold Quincy for the first time and immediately starting to feed her. Quincy had and still has NO problem at all in the eating department :) At this point, both of us were able to hold her for the first time! Our daughter is here!!

Quincy, we both were completely overwhelmed with love for you from the moment we saw you! You were and are perfect in every way!!

Morgan, Josh and Quincy... We Love You!!
