A Little Bit of Quinton Heaven


February 24, 2013, Sunday
Quinton slept pretty okay through the night. Not great, but okay—considering how little he is. I woke him a couple times to feed and he woke me a couple times to feed.

There is something magical about having Quinton in our home. Of course, with Zachary, having a new baby was so exciting. But, when we had Emma, I didn’t get to experience this little bit of “heaven” that Quinton has brought. I was more concerned with Emma than enjoying her. I mean, the first three weeks of her life, she was in the NICU. I did not have a good experience with that. And when I brought her home, I was always concerned with her breathing and force feeding her. If she brought heaven with her, I missed it.

But, Quinton—I could just hold him all the time if I didn’t have other obligations (Zachary and Emma, for instance). He is so precious. He is so sweet. He is so beautiful. He is so peaceful. He is so perfect. Of course I love Zachary and Emma. But, it’s just different with Quinton. That’s fair to say, right?

We talked Mom into going to church with Mark, Zachary, and Emma. I’m glad that she did. It’s the first time she or Dad have been to our ward here. I think she enjoyed it.

That evening, Cambrea Corbett and Jeri Johnson brought our family dinner. So nice to have someone bring you dinner. In Parliament Park, we didn’t get dinner after we had Emma for a week. I was actually feeling really hurt, if the truth be told, because Mark was the bishop and we weren’t getting any dinner help. So, to have meals already lined up after returning home with Quinton was so—NICE.
