Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Baby Finn

Hi everybody. Below is a video of Finn. We recorded this from Stacy's TV in her hospital room where we can view a live feed of little Finn from his incubator at Childrens' Hospital. You'll notice that he has shades over his eyes - they didn't really say why but I'm guessing it's because his future is so bright!


A few more stats on our little guy: he was 15 inches long and weighed one pound and 15 ounces. These are both much larger than what we had expected. Needless to say this was a pleasant surprise! Also, according to www.howmanyofme.com there statistically are five or less people named Finnegan Thomas in the United States.

If anyone would like to come visit, Stacy is in recovery and doing quite well and you are more than welcome to do so. You probably won't be able to see the baby in person but we can have the monitor turned on so you can see him. Stacy's expected discharge from the hospital is 10:00 am on Thursday; Finn will be here yet for two to three months. Thanks for the continued prayers as Finn and the rest of us commence in the next stage of this journey.

Praise God! Congratulations you guys. We have been anxiously following the journey of Finn. Between me checking my blackberry constantly and Rebecca checking the Internet every hour or so. We will be keeping Finn in our prayers, and look forward to when he will be able to go home with dada and mama. -Andy-
