Quinton David Cortese arrived unexpectedly, 6 days early, on March 18th. The delivery was smooth and Mommy & baby both did great.

He weighed 6 lbs, 4oz and was 19.5 inches long. When we left the hospital, he was down to 6lbs. At his first pediatrician visit yesterday, he was already up to 6lbs 11oz and had grown .5 inch! Obviously all that nursing is already paying off.
Daddy was once again a great coach for Mommy. When Quin was lying on Mommy's tummy afterwards and Chris spoke to him, Quin immediately turned his head in Daddy's direction. He must have recognized that voice!
Jackson was so excited when his new baby came home that he couldn't help laughing out loud.
He loves to pat the baby's head, touch his face and give him hugs & kisses. So far, Quin doesn't seem to mind, except maybe when he's trying to eat. It can be a little disruptive!
Quin loves to be held more than anything else, though he now naps in his car seat rather nicely, so we just keep it in the living room. He likes being walked around by Grandma after yet another diaper change. Those preemie-sized diapers don't hold too much - he's always soaking right through.
So snug in Pop's arms.
Mommy's got her hands full now (and she's looking a bit tired)!
