7 lbs 12 ounces
Perfect and amazing

Quinn Arthur Dunlop came into our world on 7-7-11 at 307 in the afternoon. It was a quick and easy labor and delivery. Seth and I and our amazing labor and delivery nurses were there to see this beautiful life come to us. He weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. The same exact weight and delivery room as his cousin/brother, Ronan Patrick Quinn. Ronan was born 9 days earlier.

Quinn and I came home from the hospital yesterday morning. That was the hardest part of all of this. Staying in the hospital for almost 2 days away from Seth and Piper. We are a tight clan and don't like to be separated. We are all home now together and things are going very well. Quinn is very mellow. He loves to eat, sleep and poop. He is doing his job well. Piper is adjusting well, I think. Bed time is a bit of a challenge, but we will get there.

We always feel loved and supported, but throughout this experience I am overwhelmed at the magnitude of that love and support. Our friends and family are incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I am still shaking my head with amazement at how lucky Seth and I are. We just went to this Halloween dance in high school, and now we have these beautiful children, and an amazing life. We hit an occasional bump, but we get through it. Seth says it's not luck, but just good choices. I don't know what it is, but I work every day to nurture and honor what we have.
