Halloween project and Quinn update

The kids made these cute halloween crafts that have a bag of treats in the center. Thanks Grandma for getting the kids the stuff to make it, they had so much fun!

Quinton update: 2 weeks old (yesterday), he now weighs 3 lbs 7 oz. He is continuing to progress with learning how to eat. The kids ask about him everyday and want to know when he will get to come home, probably another 3-4 weeks, let's hope it goes by quickly.

Pumpkins...

We wanted to take the kids for a little fun today. They have been asking to go pick out some pumpkins so we thought that would be a perfect Saturday activity after seeing Quinn in the hospital. The kids had a great time and made sure to pick a little pumpkin for their baby brother.

Update on Quinton:

One week old today. He is now back up to his birth weight. He is way more alert and healthy than his doctors have ever expected him to be. This next week we get to start feedings with him and hopefully he will do well.

Quinton Scott Lloyd

Our newest little one arrived on Saturday morning at 12:28am. His arrival was extremely crazy and way last minute but we are so blessed to have his little spirit with us. I had an very scary case of preeclamsia and had to deliver the baby 8 weeks early. Vince and I were both nervous for the baby's safety and health but we knew it had to be done or I was going to have some major problems. We named him Quinton Scott Lloyd but intend on calling him Quinn most of the time. We are very excited to give him Scott for his middle name after his grandpa. He was 2 lbs 15 oz. and 17" long. Although he is super tiny and will be in the NICU for at least a month he is doing so well and we could not be happier with how well he is doing. He already has a spunky personality. He is very healthy and doesn't need to be on any oxygen now. He just needs to get some meat on his bones and start eating and in no time we will be able to bring him home. Reese and Wyatt haven't been able to see him yet but they are both really excited about having a new baby brother. We definitely feel like our family is complete now with Quinton here.
