Pumpkins and more pumpkins

Quinn got a pumpkin from Grandpa Tom but we decided that we needed a few more for the porch, so we ventured--sans baby Liam--to a pumpkin patch today.

When I grew up, pumpkin patches were in a field and usually had a set price. Apparently this is not how pumpkin patches of today work. Or maybe it's city thing. So you walk around a yard of already picked pumpkins and then pay for your pumpkin by the pound. This means a regular sized pumpkin costs about $7. What?

That aside, Quinn loved walking through the pumpkins and touching all of them. And I included the 2008 picture of Quinn as the Tin Man. Maybe that can be a yearly tradition.

Big and little

Quinn doesn't pay much attention to Liam. He gets a poke in the face every once in a while and a few scared looks during extreme crying spells, but that's about it.

Here is one such example...

Liam Charles

Yep--we decided on a name a few hours before we left the hospital. With 9 months of pregnancy, you would have thought that we would have figured out something like a name before the baby actually arrived.

So here are a few pics from the hospital and the trip home.

Why is getting a brand new baby into a car seat for the first time so stressful?

And the last picture is the boys with their Grandpa Tom after we got home--just because it's cute.

First pics of new baby webb

Before you ask, we still don't have a name. We're working on it, we promise.

So, here's how the day went down. We arrived at the hospital bright and early (5:00 am early) for an induction. The nurse was like, ok, I'm going to check you before we give you any medicine. Quickly followed by: "oh, you're not going to believe this but you're 5 cm along...no need to induce." Good thing we were supposed to be here because I had noooo idea I was having contractions. We chilled for a bit. Pushed a little. Baby arrived at 10:36...7lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long. Lots of dark hair. Quinn will probably be a little jealous.

Now to what you've been waiting for...pictures!

Stay tuned...

We're heading to the hospital at 5:00am to be induced, so stay tuned for more details about baby no name. Who knows--the kid might actually get a name.

I'll see what Chris thinks about taking the computer to the hospital and updating the blog, but I'm guessing he's going to veto that plan. I know they have wireless, but he's tough on that topic. :)

No name's nursery

While baby #2 might still not have a name, he does have a place to sleep. And boy are we crossing our fingers and hoping this baby sleeps better than the first.

So, seeing that we live in the "birthplace of aviation" (note that I didn't say "first in flight"...dumb north carolina), we live on WILBUR Lane, and we are big flyer fans--why not do the nursery in airplanes. Please, no jokes about having a third boy so we can have planes, trains, and automobiles.

Here are a few nursery pictures. If it looks familiar, some of the furniture did moved over from Quinn's room (who needs two gliders and two changing tables?).

Pay special attention to the propeller Grandpa Tom made him for the wall...

Name update: nope, we don't have one. Poor baby no name. This week we're leaning toward Liam, Lincoln (sorry to whoever just dissed it on the blog), Nolan, and Declan. I think we just need to see him. And I'm more than ready for that!

A few pics of Quinn...

What happened to September? We've been franticly trying to get stuff ready for this new baby. Nursery...check. Double stroller...check (with a bit of a omg moment). Second car seat in the car...check.

While the basement isn't exactly where we'd like it to be, it's usable and we've been enjoying it so far.

So here's a pic of Quinn in his big boy chair watching tv. Based on the fact that he's actually watching it, The Wiggles must be on. Oh and did I mention that Chris bought tickets to see The Wiggles in concert in November? Yep...not even kidding.

We also had to take Quinn for a few standard blood tests, so here he showing of his bandage that just happened to match his outfit.
