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.

Rolling over already?

Finn rolled over yesterday, much to my surprise. I put him on his tummy on the couch when I ran to the kitchen to grab his bottle and when I looked over my shoulder, this is what I saw! I was amazed and a little scared. I guess no more putting him on the couch for a second or two! I even put his legs out to the side, so he wouldn't roll over. He is too smart for me already. I don't think he knew what he was doing and I'm not even sure it was intentional, but still! He has been close to rolling over before, when he is mad about something, but never actually did it.

Finn is four months old today (three weeks old adjusted age). My how time flies, and I'm sure it will only speed up. I can't believe Jim and I made another human being...especially one as cute as Finn! I don't even really remember what things were like four months ago...I think I was in a fog or auto pilot. Yesterday, I looked at the picture of the first time I held him, and I don't even feel like it happened...or maybe that is happened to somebody else. Very weird. He is doing so incredibly well, so much better than we ever dared hope when I went into the hospital after Christmas. I can't wait to see what the next four months brings.

Also, thank heaven for grandmas! Since Jim is gone this week, my mom came to visit for a few days and I am so incredibly thankful. I still got up four times last night (to either feed Finn or pump), but she got up with Finn when he was fussy! I slept in until 10:20am! Awesome. This is what I saw when I got up:I guess he wears everybody out...not just me! So cute, though. She will be here tonight, too. I hope my body doesn't get used to the extra sleep! I only wish you could put sleep on reserve to use it later.
