Ready or not...

Welcome to Quinn's Corner where we will be updating you on the first girl in the O'Rourke family in nearly 50 years.  Today Christin is 39 weeks and it is peanut butter baby time.  We are currently sitting in a hospital room at LGMH, my wonderful place of employment, for the induction of our baby girl.  It seems like these 9 months have flown by and have been pretty easy (for me at least).  The plan was to try Cervidil to get Christin ready for Pitocin in the morning.  However, Quinn must have gotten wind of this plan and she has decided she would like to start the process on her own.  As we speak C is 1-2cm dilated and 70% effaced which means no Cervidil.  This is great on two accounts one Christin won't have to lay around in bed all night and more importantly we won't have to pay for that drug.  It seems like we are in a holding pattern for the night just waiting to see what Quinn decides to do.  Now I get to wait on two ladies instead of just one.  I tried posting a picture of Christin in her hospital gown/bed but she politely refused.  So here are some pictures of Quinn's nursery.  The kid has the nicest room in the house and she isn't even here yet.  We didn't take a picture of her closet but she possibly might have more clothes than Christin (I know that is hard to believe).  Hopefully the next post will be pictures of our beautiful baby girl.

  2. Oh my goodness! This is so sweet I want to steal your idea! I just read this and just started crying uncontrollably! Not sure if it's the mommy hormones or what, but I am so excited for you all. I can't wait to meet her!
