Baby Keegan Quinn

Ok, I've been in the hospital with desi for a couple of sleepless nights - so bear with me if some of the info here changes a bit but...

At 9:40pm on July 1, 2007 - little Keegan Noah Quinn was born in Canmore Alberta. He was about 20days earlier than expected so his dad (me) had to hop on the next flight out of Nigeria to make it home to see him born!

So, Desi's water broke on Saturday morning around 1:00am - she called me and I was able to get on a plane - after a 11hr layover in London, I arrived in Canmore to find Desiree exausted after a very long and difficult labour. After her water broke, nothing happened for more than 24hrs - so the doctors had to induce labour. It was about 12hrs later after a solid 4hrs of hard pushing, that the doctors said that she need a c-section. Literally 20mins before the c-section was performed, Chris Mieske and Mike James delivered me to the Canmore hospital, sans luggage and more than a bit frazzled. I was able to see the baby be born, weigh and clean him up and it was so very exciting.

So the details - Keegan was 7lbs, 10oz, 21" long and his head was so big - he had to be delivered by c-section. Honestly.

Both mummy and baby are well - Keegan has been feeding well and Desiree is walking around now. We will stay at the hospital one more night before heading home.

So, here is what everyone has been waiting for - the pictures. I will post more soon - Kelly took all the pictures during the delivery on her camera - so stay tuned.
