Heavenly....


I am totally in heaven... Quincy Tucker Luhrs was born on July 25th at 8:02 pm. He was 8lbs 13oz and 21" of complete perfection. I am so thankful for Bryan and my midwives who helped me through a totally natural labor and delivery. I just wish that they had listened when I yelled, "HE'S COMING!" because they almost did not catch him. Thankfully, they didn't have the time to take apart the bed to put out the stirrups so he had somewhere to land other than the floor (if they had not caught him).
The past 3 weeks have been consumed by hospital stays, bilirubin checks (which means driving to NJ for them), football practices, trying to come up with some semblance of a schedule and working my ass off to make it so that my other kids do not feel the strain of what it means to have a new person in our family. So far, so good. Honestly, I am so tired at the end of the day, I feel like I am falling asleep when brushing my teeth before bed. Quincy is only waking up every 3 hours, nurses and then falls right back asleep. He is such a good boy.
