After a long week of working, Lauren, Charlie & I quickly headed to Salisbury to wait out the arrival of my niece, Mary Quinn! We spent some time on Friday, March 4th, with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Kevin. There was quite a bit of dancing, some spicy food, and plenty of begging Quinnie to come out. They went home and the next morning we woke up to a text message that read "I think my water broke". We had breakfast with Aut Sarah and Uncle Kevin and wished them good luck before they drove the hour to Easton, where they were delivering.
Mee-Maw, Grandpa, and I finished up a few things that afternoon, dropped Lauren and Charlie off with Grammy and Grumpa, and drove up to the hospital. We ate a quick dinner and joined Aunt Sarah and Uncle Kevin for the wait. By midnight, we were exhausted, so we got a hotel room, in Easton and slept until they called. That call came in at 3:45, and by 6:04 am, Mary Quinn had arrived. She was perfect and so beautiful.
After our first meeting, Mee-Maw, Grandpa, and I drove home to get some sleep. Oh, and to let Aunt Sarah and Uncle Kevin get some much needed sleep as well When we came back up, later that afternoon, we were also able to spend some time with Uncle Kevin's brother, Patrick! It was fun to watch him with his new niece.
A few days later, the Meadowcroft family was released from the hospital and we all invaded their home to spend more time with Quinnie! Grumpa, Grammy, Lauren and Charlie were also there to meet her.
It has been such a joy to watch the first few days of Mary Quinn's life. She has already brought so much joy to our family and I cannot wait to watch my little niece grow up into a wonderful young woman. The world is ahead of her and I can't wait to be a part of the journey!!
