So, we think Finn is teething. At first we convinced ourselves that he wasn't because it seems too soon. His adjusted age after all is just over 2 months. But then my mom was here yesterday (thanks for visiting, mom!) and she said it very well could be. Finn is drooling, which he has NEVER done before and he is smacking his lips and chewing on his tongue constantly. Also, another recent change is he won't go to sleep. He fights it and fights is until he is exhausted. So, even if they aren't coming "in," I think those teeth are moving around for sure. I guess we'll have to get some Orajel. For now, bring on the Tylenol!
Baptism is next weekend. We are really excited for it. We tried Jim's baptism gown (I got scolded for calling it a dress!) on Finn last night and he looks so cute. And I decided I don't need a cardigan with my dress. Jim said I had to because my shoulders were bare, but I talked to the Deacon and he said not to worry about it! Yeah. The dress will be cuter without a cardigan and I don't have to go shopping for one. I hate shopping for something you HAVE to have because then you can never find exactly what you are looking for (like the shoes I still need to get!).

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.

Adjusted age whatever. His I've been breathing age is 5 months! Right when Q started...and I swear her 2 yr molars are coming in already...it's usually based on when parents got their first chompers...2 months is early....but not 5!
Good luck!
Ooh, and frozen wet washcloth does wonders for the gums...and it turns into a fun toy!
His teeth don't know he was born early! That is why we would go by his adjusted age for something like this. BUT...who knows?!?!
