Quinn Katherine was born November 13th at 4:55 pm at French Hospital in San Luis Obispo. Jamie's strength was again on display having labored for 15 hours (five of it pretty serious) and then giving birth to this 9lb 15oz bundle (exactly Emerson's birth weight). They say second deliveries go easier for the mom; who ever "they" are were wrong in this instance. The last hour and a half were comprised of intense contractions with Jamie "recovering" with intense vomiting. She was at her limit declaring that it was time for an epidural (I'm paraphrasing). The nurse started an IV line to begin the process... but that is as far as it got because baby Quinn decided an epidural wouldn't be necessary and made her debut within a couple of minutes. 
So thoughtful for only 12 hours old.

Emerson was so sweet with his new sister. Gaga (Jamie's mom/nurse) was getting ready to give Quinn her first shot with Emerson exclaiming "DON'T YOU SHOT HER!!". He was instumental in her first bath and still cannot keep his hands off her.
I'm a lucky guy.
Many more posts/photos to come in the coming months...
