Fishing

Kieran has been on a kick the past few days where all he talks about is fishing. A few days back I made him a little pole from a stick and string and that is all he wants to play with. Yesterday we went out and got him a cheap little pole and box and went to the pond at the top of the street. Today that is all he talked about again, so we went back up again, we haven't even been using real hooks or lures, but Kieran is happy as can be letting me cast for him, then reeling the line in. He likes to carry all the gear up to the pond as well, he is a little character.

Including a pic of him after his first bath

6 Days Old

Quinn is doing well, still watching his biliruben levels but besides that he is doing fine. He has the hiccups all the time and spends alot of time awake staring.

Some more pics of Quinn lounging around (and Kieran playing with some hospital tape)

The hospital

Kieran had fun in the hospital but would get a little restless since there wasen't too much for him to do. Quinn spent most of the time fighting his jaundice and feeding. He had to have his foot checked out because it was swollen, he got pretty beat up during the delivery, but is doing fiune now. Jennifer is doing OK also, but because of the operation will be on very strict restrictions and won't be abe to do much at all for a few weeks. Quinn and Jennifer will be coming home today

Quinn Michael Skaalen

Was born on Friday June 8, 2007 at 2:20AM. He came three weeks early but still weighed in at 8 pounds 9 ounces. He had high biliruben levels which was leading to a alot of jaundice, so he had to stay in a special light emitting chamber to get his levels down.
