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.

Five pound baby

Finn had a really good day. He officially reached the five pound mark today! That is so crazy to me. That is a normal birth weight for some babies...like twins! He didn't have a spell all day and remained very stable on his oxygen. I asked if the doctor mentioned anything about taking off the cannula, but he didn't. Darn it.

Finn ate two full feedings from me today. I still don't know how much he is getting and after the 11:00am feeding, he was very hungry by a little after 1:00pm (he normally eats again at 2:00). So I fed him early. Oh yeah...the doctor changed the breastfeeding order to say that I can feed him at will...which means whenever he is hungry and as many times as I'm there instead of just two times like before. Yeah!

I went to visit my friend Becky and she wasn't at Abbott! I think that means she got to go home and no more visits over to Abbott for me. Boo, hoo...just kidding, it is so good for her to go home and finish growing those babies!

Not much else to report. I guess no news is good news!
