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.

Sick as a dog

Where did that phrase come from anyway? Weird when you think about it. I think we needed a quarantine flag outside our house yesterday. All three of us (me, Jim and Becky...thankfully not Finn) were sick yesterday. And not just sick, but SICK! It started with me around 5am and we all went to bed last night still not feeling well. I think Jim was hit the hardest and is taking the longest to get over it. Yuck. I'm so glad for two things: 1. Finn is little enough that laying in bed with mom and dad all day is fine with him and 2. Auntie NaeNae came over in the afternoon and stayed over night so she could watch Finn and get him out of bed for a while (even changed a poopy diaper!). We are on the up swing today, but yesterday was touch and go!

I started pumping again. Finn just wasn't getting enough from me, so we are hoping that by me pumping after he eats every time will tell my body to make more milk. I'm only getting around 25 ml total when I pump (less than 1 oz), but hopefully he got a lot when he ate and hopefully it will start to increase. I don't mind, but now it seems all I do is clean bottles/pumping parts, feed Finn or pump! Oh, the life of a mom!

I hear you. I'm still crazy sick with some sort of flu! I hope you guys start feeling better really soon and that Finn doesn't get it. I can't even go to the hospital to see the girls!

Hope that you are all beginning to feel much, much better today (Tuesday)! Did the people at Children's warn you about growth spurts? When the baby is on a growth spurt they eat and eat and eat - it's a good thing - brings in more milk and they grow like crazy! I always drove me nuts though! Usually lasted only a few days and then they were getting plenty once more and things evened out! Can't wait to hear about your doctor's appointment and how Finn is doing. Am so glad that he has not gotten sick! It's bad enough when mom and dad at sick at the same time! We are looking forward to seeing you all the 18th of May - my next appointment down here - hopefully all will be well by that point! Love to you all! Blessings for health once again! Memere PS It was great to see the picture of Finn in his swing:)
