Quinn wasn't feeling the greatest yesterday so mom and dad weren't sure the type of night they would have. As it turns out Quinn slept very much the same as the night before about 3-4 hours between feedings and pretty content in the bassinet. We don't want to jinx ourselves but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We are looking to make some good use of this weekend before dad has to go back to work.
Shane Mosa came to see Quinn today as he was in the area.
We will look to have a power packed day with Quinn today and get out of the house.

Quinn's Good Night
Quinn had a really good night last night. It seems mom and dad found a good position that Quinn likes in the bassinet. It looks a little uncomfortable but she seems to like it. She had a good 2.5 ounces before bed. Slept for almost 3 hours. Woke up took another almost 3 ounces then back to bed. She was really good.
In the morning Mom and Dad both looked at her and decided that she has changed. We are both not sure if it is just the fact that we got some sleep or she has actually changed. She is growing now for sure. She has filled out a couple of her sleepers and we can feel the added weight when we carry her.
It is nice that her schedule seems to be moving in the right direction. We think she might be getting better at figuring out when is day and when is night. We are hoping of more of the same tonight but we are being realistic as well.

Yesterday Quinn's bellybutton finally fell out. It looked like a little raisin and it seems a little sore but it is a milestone nonetheless!!
Mom and Dad's First Night Out.
Last night Mom and Dad had their first night out to celebrate their 4 year anniversary of when they got engaged and had their yearly visit to The Keg. Quinn had her first babysitting time with Aaji and Aaja. Aaji changed her first disposable diaper. Quinn slept like a little princess with them and just woke when we came by to pick her up 2 hours later.
Dad broke down and was the first to call and check up on Quinn and Aaji to see how it was going. Mom took great joy in the fact that it wasn't her calling.

Lots of Firsts...
Last night had some good moments.... fed at 11:00 didn't wake till almost 1am.... and some bad moments... eat at 1:30 and didn't go back to bed till almost 3am.
We are still working through Quinn's preferences..... We are still reminding ourselves.... she is only just over 2 weeks old!
Quinn got her first ride in the Lexus today. Mom said she didn't know but Dad is confirmed that Quinn knew she was riding in style!
Quinn also had her first ride in an elevator as well as her first time at the mall. After we dropped the Saab off for service we went to Sherway Gardens to look around. It was an interesting experience to actually shop for our daughter instead of a "baby on the way".
We both looked at her today and can't believe how much she has changed in the last 2 weeks. She doesn't look like a "fresh one" any more.
A couple people commented that she was big for only 2 weeks old. Mom and Dad's hard work is paying off. We also notice that Quinn's feet are now going all the way to the end of the sleepers. They grow up so quick.....

Quinn is changing
Well today might be the most we have seen Quinn change yet. She didn't sleep much but was pretty alert all day. Had a few "episodes" but they were all easily explained.. dirty diaper or hungry or gas.
She really showed us her eyes today. She took in more food on a regular basis and was very content. We did note that she does not like being in a shopping cart at Canadian Tire because they have tile floors which make for a very bumpy ride!!
We are hopeful that tonight will go well but we are also realistic... Mom and Dad keep reminding each other she is only 2 weeks old!

zzzzzzzzzzzz.....
Quinn seems to love her sleep... The only problem is that it is at 3pm in the afternoon and not at 2am in the morning. We gave her a bath last night which woke her up so we could feed her then put her down to sleep. Seems she didn't go for that. She was asleep in our arms but didn't carry that over to the bassinet.
We are both thinking that she just doesn't like the bassinet. It doesn't matter what we do she doesn't like it. We also find she is a lot more congested laying in the bassinet than she is when she is laying on the bed or on the sofa. We will have to try a new angle tonight..
Last night Mom and Dad didn't get much sleep and were hoping for a lot more. We will try maybe actually getting her into the crib. We know her issue is that she has trouble breathing in the crib. When she is laying in the bed or in our arms or on the sofa or on the floor she is fine.. all flat surfaces. It is like a mystery that we have to figure out. If she could speak she could just tell us. I guess THIS must be the fun of parenting....

Tough Love...
Yesterday we really started focusing on getting more time between Quinn's feedings. The one drawback to this is increased crying. However it did pay off as she slept for about 4 hours before the first feeding. That gave mom and dad a good stretch. We now have a good idea how to go after that illustrious good nights sleep. We aren't going to push her but we aren't going to give in so easily with the bottle.
Quinn had her first road trip in her stroller.. New pictures are posted at www.brelan.ca
The stroller handled beautifully in the trip to her grandparents. I am not sure her grandparents understood that we walked over as her Aaji asked us where the car was. They then called us a couple times to make sure we got home. Not sure where they think we would have gone. They were also stressed out because Quinn was getting hungry and we weren't feeding her right away... we know it is a process.
Quinn got weighed again today and is up another 2 ounces to 7lbs 3oz. This is good news as we can really focus on getting her schedule down.
Quinn made her first visit to a restaurant with mom and dad. We went to Kelsey's for lunch. Quinn was really good but near the end of the lunch her patience was wearing thin...
This parenting thing isn't at all like riding a bike. Bikes don't keep changing every couple days....

We have a 7 pounder!!
Quinn got to the scales today...
And in the red corner... wearing the Pampers Swaddlers... weighing in at a mean 7lbs and 1 oz......... The Mighty Quinn!!
We are so proud of her breaking the 7lb mark and going above her birth weight. The doctor was really good and gave us some great ideas on getting her more time between feedings now that she is above her birth weight. He also gave us a possible solution to her snoring... wondering if it will work on mommy too?
We are now going to be focussed on getting her past 2 hours between feedings. Tonight will be our first test.
Quinn got her first taste of Costco today. She would have made Nana (Grampy Mick) proud. She was a regular rock star in there with everyone wanting to see her and get a good look. It was also mom and dad's first time taking her into a store. We probably could have used 2 carts. One for all her stuff and one for the stuff we bought!
We are a family deep on the learning curve!!

Hungry Hungry Hippo....... or Not
Quinn was up every 1.5 hours last night. She seemed to be more hungry than normal which was ok if she would actually eat more than 1/2 oz. before falling asleep again.
It was a tough night for mom as she didn't get much sleep. Her focus today will be to get in as many naps as possible.
Quinn goes to the doctor today for the big weigh in. We are hoping that she is back to her birth weight. She also has trouble at night getting herself to sleep. We have inclined the bassinet, put more blankets, put her on her side and it all doesn't seem to help. She also snores like her mom. We might ask the doctor about that one....
Dad actually got up and worked out... it was quite a monumental return to the normal routine.
Once mommy is feeling better then we can really work to get back to our new family routine.

Science Experiment
Quinn had a relaxing day. We have decided she is our little science experiment. We experiment with different nipples, formula vs. breast milk, swaddled or no swaddle, swinging chair vs. inclined bassinet vs. regular bassinet. The variables are infinite!!
The main thing we are trying tonight is giving her antibiotics early instead of in the middle of the night and see how that affects her sleep.
We found a nipple that she seems to like and it really doesn't give her much air at all. It is the NUK nipple (Gerber) that fits the bottles we have. We also discovered she will not take a bottle that is too cold. She lets us know pretty quick that is not happening.
Hopefully tonight we will find a good mix so mom and dad get some sleep and Quinn is content. She is a real night owl. We might try the evening bath and see how that goes.
This week Mom and Dad are going to get back to real living. Eating well and dad is going to get back to working out. Mom isn't quite ready for that!!

In This Corner.... The Mighty Quinn!!!
Yesterday we made a visit to the doctors so Quinn could hit the scale.
We stripped her down... she peed... then we put her on the scale.
She is up almost 6lbs 14 oz which is only 1 oz from her birth weight. She has gained 3 oz. in 2 days! The two hour feeding are paying off.
Auntie Aisling and Uncle Jay came by to visit Quinn. She was a regular lady for them. They all played nice together. A good play day was achieved.
Last night wasn't such a great night. Quinn's schedule seemed to be way off. She was up a lot of the night. She wasn't eating much and crying quite a bit. We finally had a combination of gripe water, new nipple on the bottle, pure breast milk (from a formula mix) and a diaper change and that seemed to work. I think it was just pure luck. We seem to think it might be the fact that we give her the antibiotics in the night and it bothers her. We will try and give it to her during the day today and see what happens.
Daddy had a tough night with the little sleep and his tooth was hurting but mom really took over.
The focus again today is eating.... we are focused on getting Quinn to 7lbs by her doctor's appointment tomorrow!!

Keep up with Quinn
Mommy had a rough night last night and didn't get much sleep at all. Quinn was up every 2 hours. Actually it is more accurate that she was feeding every 2 hours. It takes about 30 minutes for her to eat and about 30 minutes to get back to sleep then up in another hour. Daddy was sterilizing like a mad man but did manage more zzz's than mom.
Today Auntie Aisling (Aisling Mosi) and Uncle Jay are coming to see Quinn for the first time. I can tell how excited Quinn is...... Then again that is the same face she gets when she is eating and pooping....
It is another weigh in day for Quinn so we are trying to get as much formula/breast milk in her before she has to hit the scales... It is like we are training her for a big fight....
Mommy and Daddy actually sat down last night and watched an entire movie. This was a change as they haven't done that since Quinn was born. Quinn will have to get used to that routine as it is quite common in our household!
Yesterday was leftover day. We finished up all the food that people brought us during the week. It was good to not have to worry about eating again, and to get some room back in our fridge!

Quinn is putting up a good fight!
We are trying our best to get Quinn to eat, eat, and eat. She is doing a good job most of the time but she is putting up a fight every now and again.
She has had more than her share of butt explosions today. Today they have all been kept special for mom. It is hard to believe they don't just lift her right off our laps!!
As you can see below, I think she might be telling us that she has had enough food.
OK little Ms. Quinn, you might have won this battle, but you aren't winning this war!!
Mom and Dad have done a pretty good job sharing the nap time and actually getting other stuff done.. dishes and laundry.
Fatten Quinn Up
Quinn's internal clock is now officially on a 2 hour schedule. Which isn't that bad during the day but causes quite the havoc during the night. Not much sleep for mom or dad but Quinn is gaining weight and up a full ounce from Wednesday.
She had an ultrasound today and was a regular lady with the technician.
We also visited the breastfeeding clinic today again and got a pretty good nurse. She offered tonnes of support and said it is just a matter of time before Quinn goes all out on the boob. Quinn really has no issues latching and sucking. It is the effort and the focus she needs to work on. We will cut her a break since she isn't even 2 weeks old.
People still assume she is a boy with her name. It doesn't help that we have all unisex sleepers and clothes that were bought before we knew she was a girl. We can't wait till we can put in the pigtails.
We now know that Quinn enjoys to pee when there is no diaper on. The last 3 diaper changes she has saved a stream of pee for when she has no diaper on and is airing out the goods. It could be worse, she could have the urge to poop at that time. All in all it is no big deal.
She is still good to only cry when she needs something, although she still gets frustrated that she can't soothe herself to sleep. We are working on that one.
Mom and Dad are alternating naps today to catch up on sleep from last night. We will see if we can get the hang of it.

Quinn on a feast
We visited the doctor today for Quinn's follow up appointment from the hospital.
We made sure to bring the diaper bag with us..... the only problem was that we left it in the car!
Quinn is down in weight, so for the next little while it will be a non stop feast for our little Quinn. It will be breast milk and formula 24 hours a day!
She is one sound sleeper. It took us forever to wake her up for her dinner. She just was not having it. I think she was just messing with us. She did eventually get up and took the whole bottle like a champ! Of course we did have to strip her down to get the blood going first!
Pat and Mike came by with a welcomed dinner feast. They brought Quinn some great gifts and Quinn was on her usual perfect guest behavior. It is like a switch she turns on when people are around.
Tonight will be the eating marathon and we will see how that all turns out. We have a feeling sleep will be optional.

Quinn shakes it up
Just when we thought we were getting the hang of this feeding thing, Quinn throws us a curve ball. She was up to almost 3oz every 3-4 hours. As of last night (late last night or early this morning, whichever you prefer) it seems she likes just over 2oz. every 2 hours or so. Mom and Dad now will make the necessary adjustments and see how it goes.
We are pretty much reserved to the idea that Quinn doesn't cry for no reason so when she cries we will change and feed her.... She is also pretty regular with the diaper changes.
We are all ready, showered (Quinn had a bath), had breakfast (Quinn had 2 bottles), and set for Quinns appointment this afternoon. Which is a change instead of a frantic grab and go.
We are just trying to keep up with our growing princess.

Grandparents to the rescue
Today we all were out and about. We came home and Brenda slept. Quinn also slept but that is nothing new. We think there might be a Sleep Olympics and she is in rigorous training.
Quinn's grandparents (Aaji & Aaja) came to the rescue today for us. They have been our savior for our dinners since Quinn came home. That is one thing that we haven't had to concern ourselves with. We have had a personal cook and delivery person at our disposal which has been such a blessing for us!!
Today we were running low on diapers and the lactation person suggested we try tougher nipples for Quinn. Aaja came to the rescue and picked up the necessary goods for us!! In no time at all we had new stock of diapers and some new nipples!! I think that might be the first time he has ever bought diapers and nipples.... a new experience all around!!! All this and delivery with a smile!!
We will get Quinn all ready for bed and pray for a good night!!
Little Quinn is getting settled
Last night was a pretty good night.
Quinn slept the whole night in the bassinet. It was quite the milestone.
She is now feeding every 3-4 hours regularly which is great news for mom and dad. It was a little weird not seeing her sleep as we have been used to the last couple nights and dad popped out of bed a couple times to check on her.
This morning she had quite the butt explosion and saved it all for dad. It ran down her legs and up her back. Oddly we were both pretty happy about it since it means her digestive system is running full tilt!
We got out of the house on time today for an appointment at 11:00 am, then grabbed some lunch and did some running around. All with our little Quinn in tote... a family on the go!
We will get the hang of this parenting yet! We also have Quinn to help us along the way!

First Doctor's Appointment
Well this is the week of appointments for Q-tip.
From Tuesday to Friday she has an appointment everyday.
Today was her first doctors appointment.
We got her up and dressed.
Not only that we both were showered and ready before noon!! It was quite a monumental undertaking!
However, we underestimated the degree of production needed to getting out the door ready. As a result we were 20 minutes late for the doctors appointment. We also didn't bring a diaper bag and Quinn was probably a little under dressed for the cold weather. Although, we didn't drop or forget her anywhere so a good first trip out!!
She is down to about 6lbs 10oz. which is about 3% which we are told is normal. anything over 5% is cause to monitor and over 10% is concern. She is 19 inches long.
On the way home she fell asleep in the car seat which was great news for us as she will probably be spending a fair amount of time in there because of all the driving mommy and daddy do.
She looked so peaceful we decided to leave her in there for a while to finish out her nap.

Is there a regular schedule in the cards???
Well last night was an even better night than the night before.
Kanch was over for some sushi (Brenda missed that the most during pregnancy) and Quinn was great. She ate a little and slept.
We fed her at 10:00pm then she slept till midnight.
We got her ready for bed and then fed her again at 1am.
She laid awake and content for a while then fell asleep at around 2am.
Woke up for next feeding at 6:30am then went right back to bed.
We had to get her back up at 10:30am to eat and get ready.
All in all it was a pretty good night!
We still have to work on sleeping when she is sleeping instead of watching her.
She now only cries for specific things.. eat, sleep, or change me.
By process of elimination it isn't such a crazy guessing game.

Regular Eating
Well Quinn went down for a little nap. She woke up about an hour later and actually just wanted some food then went back to sleep.
This is her first sign of regularity and we are thrilled about it!!
We have a sneaky feeling that our sense of security will all crumble horribly tonight...
We will wait and see......

Another Day and more progress
Well we haven't mastered the feeding thing yet.... but I am sure it is only
a matter of time.
a matter of time.
Quinn is doing great and we had some really cute outfit changes today.
She had her second bath today and liked it a lot more than the first one as
we increased the temperature of the water quite a bit.
Quinn actually was down for a couple of hours out of our arms in the
bassinet... a breakthrough for sure.
She is great. Lots more aware than yesterday.
She caught Milan with a vicious right hook when he was changing her.... Not
quite sure she did any damage but he will keep his eyes open the next time
around!!
We will see how tonight unfolds but things are looking up!!
Quinn's First decent night
So last night was the first night home that Quinn (and parents) got some
regular sleep. It was about 2 hours... feeding.. then 2 more hours... then some more this morning.. If the feeding was a little easier this would be a walk in the park!!!
Just Joking
She is still so cute. I think we both might get more sleep if we didn't spend so much time looking at her sleeping.
We are still getting used to not showering or getting out of our sleep clothes till 7:00pm. Today we said we would both shower before noon... but since it is 11:58 I think there is a fat chance that will happen!!
The adventure continues!!!

Quinn: Day6
Well Quinn is slowly getting into somewhat of a predictable routine....Or maybe it is just mom and dad that are getting into the routine.
This is her 6th day of life and coming up on the third night at home...
1st night.... 20 minutes of sleep
2nd night... 2 hours of sleep
3rd night.... ??
She is getting more and more beautiful every day and developing quite the
personality...
