Finn and I had our first Infant Massage class yesterday. We actually didn't do a lot of massaging, which was a little disappointing, but there was a lot of discussion amongst the moms, so that was very good. The facilitator gave me some instruction sheets on how to do the massage, so if I practice them before next time, I will be able to do the massage while we discuss parenting issues. This class is not geared just toward preemies, so that was a little different. They all wanted to know all the details and asked a lot of questions, which I don't mind. I'm a little nervous about going in the future, however, because these babies are full term and their parents aren't concerned about germs like they were in the preemie class (one of the babies was getting over an ear infection and had a cough). I don't know...it is so hard to know what is okay and how careful we need to be. I just did not bring Finn by that baby.
Small world: one of the babies in the class is names Finnegan...okay, two babies if you count our Finnegan! Here, I thought we picked an unusual enough name for that not to happen. What is even weirder is a couple months ago at church during announcements, they say who is getting baptized that week and they said the baby's name was Finnegan something. So, because this class is very close to our home and church, I asked the mom if they go to my church...and they do and that was the same baby! Such a small world. I mean, with all the people and churches in Minneapolis, what are the chances?!?!
Finn is doing much better at night. He isn't nearly as fussing as he had been (I think it is because he is going poop regularly now!). He still thinks he needs to wake up and eat every 2 hours, but that is far better than needing his pacifier every 20 minutes! And last night he seemed to be able to go about 2.5 hours between feedings, so I think he is slowly "getting it." Yeah for mom and sleep!
