Quinlan James Bjorndal

Quinlan James Bjorndal was born on Monday March 22, 2010. He weighed in @ 9lbs. 7oz. and was 22" long. He decided that he wanted to keep us up all night and was born @ 4:24 am. We weren't @ the hospital too long though, my water broke @ 8:20pm and we went to the hospital right away and they kept us there until Quinlan was born.

It was a happy day to have our little family home together on Tuesday. It was short lived though, Quinlan didn't feel like eating for the first few days so by Thursday our midwife sent us to get blood tests because she thought he had jaundice and he did. He was in the hospital for Thursday and Friday. On Friday evening we came home and he was so much happier because he had a full time each time he ate. So today was the first day that Ben, Quinlan and I were home together without Mike. It was a good half day and nice to have us all home.


Here is our little family together for the first time. Grandma and Grandpa brought Ben for a little visit. He was happy to meet his little brother @ last.

Here is Quinlan in his little sunglasses under the lights. It was so warm in there that I was wondering if he would be able to sleep @ home that I cranked the heat in our room last night and it was almost too warm for Mike and I to sleep.

We will be there friday. it is so wonderful that the church is doing this for our family. It is really new to me to go to a church where the elders actually know who you are because of the smaller #'s. I really love it. We went to Northview on Sunday and it just felt so different and made me appreciate Olivet even more.
