Daddy, Lexi & Quincy~

Almost 4 weeks old

Quincy has been getting up and staying up more often during the day. It is really fun. She actually smiled for Christopher yesterday and she wasn't sleeping. It was so adorable. I wasn't able to get it on the camera but I am sure there are more to come. Here are a couple pictures.



It is so cute, she holds her head.


She is violently sucking her thumb. She found it and then she would scratch her face,,, I had to put a blanket in her hands so she wouldn't hurt herself.


This is her after making herself mad. YES!!! She cries :-)

What a relaxing time at Priest Lake

All the girls sunning themselves on the Beach

More relaxing

All the kids are extremely hands on with Quincy.

Even more,,,,,,

This is Danner getting ready to dive into the water and retrieve a diving ring. It is amazing. She will swim to it and then feel it with her paws and then dive down under the water and get it. She loved it. A couple times she was under quite sometime. I wonder if she opens up her eyes???

This is Danner under water!!!!!

HOT DIGIDY DOG~~~ This is a hotdog that our Nephew Parker had made for lunch. He did an amazing job being the grill master along with dressing the dogs for eat. :-) Hilarious!!!!

Harrison and Christopher were playing catch,,,,well not sure if you would call it catch,,,,more like balls bouncing off Harrison's body. Harrison thought it was so fun.

Priest Lake kids~~~~ This was before Quincy with most of the Hudson Family Grandkids~ Riley, Lexi, Avery, Parker, Spencer, Ellie, Harrison, Hudson, & Haidyn. (not pictured-Cameron & Quincy)

An amazing comparison of how small Quincy's hand really is.


~I LOVE HER FEET~


Her sleepy smiles that she does all of the time. What goes through their amazing little minds? They are real smiles,,,, it is not gas :-)

Fun at Priest Lake

This was a couple weeks ago on a leisurely stroll up the lake in the boat. The girls love going for boat rides as well as Danner. We love this picture. Danner is becoming quite the dog.


Danner and our nephew Harrison looking out at the Lake. Danner is great buddies with all of the kids.



Lexi was jumping off the pieling on to the trampoline. All the kids were doing it and were having so much fun. A few times they actually miss the trampoline all together and fall into the lake. It was a game for them of who could jump the farthest.


Lexi's eyes are so gorgeous.


Riley and Ellie enjoying a book. Riley loves reading to all the kids.

Protective Danner

Danner, our 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever, is in love with Quincy as well. This is them cuddling.

My Birthday!!!!

What better way to spend your own birthday than getting to come home after the birth of your child. It was an amazing day all around and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband, who now is an amazing father. I love seeing Christopher with his little girl.

These are my birthday flowers. They are absolutely beautiful. I had to laugh, as many of you know we are living in our apartment with really minimal things. A vase is one thing we don't have. So we settled for the BLENDER!!!!. Don't they look great?

4 Days Old

Quincy is doing amazing and so am I. I feel great and she is a very mellow baby. Very sweet and cuddly. Here are a few pictures over the past few days. Hope you enjoy.

PLAY BY PLAY

Well today was pretty much an amazing day. Christopher and I arrived at Deaconess women's and children center about 6:00am. I have been consistenly having contractions for weeks, so there is nothing new when we come in this morning and I am already contracting 3 minutes apart. We were instantly taken to our birth suite which is a huge corner room with ample space and nice windows for a view of sunny spokane. I am all checked in with a fashionable gown, extra large with open back, lots of snaps & a couple ties,,,,very cute.

Around 7:30 am or so, my IV has been inplace and I have now begun Pitocin.

8:10 am Dr. Messinger arrives and is ready to break my water.

By 8:20am mission accomplished. :-) water is broke.

So far so good,,,, so I am having contractions pretty consistently that are 2-3 minutes apart and pretty uncomfortable but not imbearable. We then just sat around really talking and waiting to see how things were progressing.

11:30 am- I am checked and I have labored to a 6 cm and now an epidural is on it's way. I wasn't in really kind of desparate pain, but didn't want to miss any opportunity for the "Good Stuff". :-) So now,,,we are really feeling good. Talk about an absolute amazing thing. Weird though,,,I can actually still move my legs very well,,,they just feel hot and numb.





Can't remember the exact time, but Riley, Lexi, Avery, my mom, grandma Rachel, Phil and Jan show up. It was fun ad exciting to have everyone here. It was nice to pass the time with everyone visiting.


1:30 pm- I am checked again and I am approximately 6-7cm and 100% effaced and she is actually moving down. Quincy is kind of positioned facing up,,,,which facing down works much better. My nurse says there is still plenty of room for her to turn around and get into position so there is nothing to worry about. They now increase the pitocin a bit. I am still feeling great.

2:00 pm- I am changed into a different position so I am basically sitting up like I am in a chair. The foot of these nifty beds drops out so it was pretty easy to manuver around. This is for gravity to help Quincy along. Oh yeah, they upped the Pitocin again.

2:30 pm or so,, I am having definate contractions close together very strong and effective. I am sitting having a conversation with Jan, Christopher, Phil and Grandma Rachel and I say to them I am definately feeling her and she is coming down. I have 2 really good contractions now that I know,,,,WOW,,,,I think she is right there. The girls and my mom were out on a walk for a bit to feed the meters and pass the time.

Christopher goes and gets our nurse Laura, she checks me,,,and sure enough,,,I AM READY!!!!!!! YEAH, she then calls Dr. Messinger to come on in for the delivery. All of our family exits the room and the girls & my mom show up in time to here the news that Quincy is on her way. They all wait outside listening for the first cries.

At this point,,, it was probably about 2:45-2:50pm, they are getting everything set up,,,Dr. Messinger is here,,,everything is ready to go and we can go head and push. First waiting for a contraction. 1 long,,,,but easy push and little Quincy was on her way out. She was here!!!!!!!! Had a cord wrapped around her a little bit, but ok. COMPLETELY AMAZING!!!!!! she is actually here,,,,just like that. They layed her on my tummy for about 5 minutes or so rubbing her little precious body to stimulate her. She is doing great,,,,but I was kind of scared because really she didn't make any kinds of cries. She looked ok, kind of stunned from the whole thing,,,but she wasn't crying at all.

Well, she is great. They do take her over to the bed to start to clean her up and do her apgar tests and vital signs. We open the door and everyone comes in to see the newest addition. WE DID IT!!!!!!!!! Just like that,,,,,,,
