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.

Nice and quiet

Today was a quieter day than yesterday. Finn kept daddy up pretty much all night. So mommy kept Finn busy all morning and daddy slept in until 2:30! We got some cuddle time and he helped me while I was on the computer (I didn't know I could type with one hand as quickly as I did!). Now daddy is picking some stuff up at Target (yeah for gas drops!) and getting an oil change for mommy's car. What a guy!

So, the breastfeeding/pumping thing is going MUCH better. When we first came home, I was in considerable pain because Finn wasn't eating enough to give me relief plus his three bottles a day limited how much I could feed him anyway. However, yesterday I only had to pump twice (once I pumped until they were empty because they were still hard!) and today I haven't had to pump at all! I think that means my milk supply is adjusting to Finn's needs (I hope so and not just that it is going away completely!). I over think everything, can you tell? Now that I'm not pumping (regularly at least), hopefully we can start to get rid of some of our milk supply in the freezer!

Auntie Kelsie and uncle John came over to spend some time with Finn and have dinner last night. Auntie Kelsie jumped right in to hold Finn (what woman wouldn't, right?!?!), but uncle John was a little more hesitant (very much like daddy is with babies). Eventually, John decided he wouldn't cause Finn any harm by holding him just on his legs. By the end of the evening, John was a natural and was cuddling with Finn on his chest. I'm so glad he decided to hold him because it was very cute to see them together.

Not much else going on today. Another migraine day for me. It is frustrating because I asked my doctor again yesterday to double check if I could take my migraine medicine and she still said no (I was hoping some crazy new research has suddenly surfaced telling her otherwise or something!). And today, the Aleve and ibuprofen are not cutting it. Ugh. Just another day!
