Update 2
As you might imagine, things have been busy here. We also had a couple technical issues with the site that were keeping us from updating but I got that resolved now. Here are a couple nice photos that Grandpa Ed took.
Brooke is a good eater and only lost 4 oz. before we left the hospital and that’s pretty typical. She sleeps during the day and is up most of the night, of course. 
Quinn is still doing well though I think he realizes that Mom doesn’t have as much time for him as before. Dad is trying to pick up the slack while he’s home so we’ll see how Quinn does once Dad goes back to work. Mom is starting already on a daily treadmill walk schedule to get a little exercise and she’s happy to finally get a workout.
Just a few visitors at home so far. Melanie happened to be in town this weekend and was excited to stop by and meet Brooke. Laura Luckow also came by to hold Brooke. Other than that, it’s been pretty quiet. More later…
Love you all heaps! Thinking of you. What a cutie!
oh, and does she have a kiwi accent?
Oh how cute! love you sweetie! Can’t wait to meet you! hugs and kisses!
love, Auntie Heidi, Uncle Marius, Avery and Grayson

You have a beautiful little daughter. How exciting for all of you! I just know that Quinn is going to be a wonderful loving big brother. We love you guys.
Congratulations! She’s beautiful! I can’t wait to meet her, but since we’re so far away, the pictures will have to do for now. I’m glad the delivery went so smoothly and hopefully so will the transition to a four person family. Thanks for sharing the news with us! God bless you all!
