So, it's finally over!! Quinten James Hench was born on May 27th at 12:58 AM. He weighed in at 5lbs. 15 oz. which seems small, but we think he's big compared to what Leah was! He was just over two weeks early and we are glad to be done. I wish I could report that labor was a breeze- the hospital was slammed with women in labor and everything took longer than it should have- I had to wait an hour and a half for my epidural and had to wait over a half hour for my doctor to finish with another girl before I could start pushing. Even with all the delays, it still only lasted six hours, so I guess I should feel lucky. We are now home and everything is going fine. It's always an adjustment having a newborn around. Leah is taking it the hardest, of course. She has yet to make a sentence that isn't with a cry or a whine in it. Hopefully that will pass soon. The girls have spent lots of time with friends and family. My sister-in-law, Lydia is amazing and spent the entire afternoon and most of the evening with the girls the night we had him. They had a great time with her- she even took them all swimming! We love her so much! Thanks to everyone else who helped and came to visit. We will keep you updated as time goes on. My mom will be here on Saturday and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival. The picture above is Quinten right after delivery- he hadn't had his bath yet, so he probably looks a little gross. 
Just after delivery- you can see I'm still hooked up to everything... I hate IV's. 
Andrew and Quinten- it still doesn't feel like he is a boy yet. I have called him a she or her several times and have had to catch myself. 
All his sisters. Leah walked in the room and I was holding him- she looked at me and said, "Mommy hold me."
Getting ready to leave the hospital. It always feels so good to get my own clothes on again and to get up and walk around. I could have stayed one more night, but I get so sick of doing nothing. However, the food was great this time. They have a menu that you call and order from so you get exactly what you want. Loved it!

He's very cute. Maybe Leah will let me cuddle her; or I can hold Quinten while she bothers you!

Cori, just wanted to say hi and congrats. This is Jenny Kearl from one of your old, married, student wards. I saw a comment from you on the Coordination Queen's blog, so I clicked over to yours. New babies are fun. We love boys at our house. We just had our third boy 2 months ago. Your 3 girls are adorable. Little tip for boys: if the pistol goes up, it's going to shoot.
Congrats! He is beautiful and you look great. Well done.
Congratulations! He's a beautiful baby and I hope you are both doing well. I'm sure he'll get lots of love and attention from all his adoring older sisters! :)
YEAH! He is here. Congratulations Cori. Can't wait to meet him. He looks cute. You look great too. Keep the pictures coming.
Aw, He's adorable. Congratulations!
I love seeing you hold a little boy! It is so adorable! He is the cutest little man!
Oh Cori! Congratulations! I'm so excited that you have a little guy. He is going to be absolutely doted on with all those big sisters. I saw Kassie this weekend and we're still in the big and pregnant club just waiting to join you in the caring for a newborn club.
