Grandma Mart came in today to keep Bec company, allowing me time to scrape the ice off the driveway and do some other household chores. A good sleep was had all around last night - 7 hrs for Dave, 4 hrs for Bec. There was still some wailing but we're starting to figure out a few things.
I ventured out to the drugstore yesterday and realized that was the first time I'd gone farther than the front step since Quinn was born last Thursday - a testament to how well we've been looked after by family and friends. All the support and well-wishes has been greatly appreciated. And the privacy :) - having seen some Bringing Baby Home episodes on TLC where new parents are inundated with guests causing more work as opposed to helping, makes me appreciate even more the unobtrusive help and support we have received. We are almost to a point where we'll be anxious to show Quinn off though.
Here's a pic Bec took of Quinn during a quiet time yesterday. As another friend pointed out, all parents are quite rightly biased that their baby is the most beautiful in the world, so how would you tell if your baby really is beautiful? No matter, *I* think he is beautiful :). Er, or is that "handsome".

He's beautiful. Period. Nothing gender-specific required.
(you must all be enjoying this time!)
