We had our last Preemie class last night. It was Finn and one other baby. Usually Finn sleeps through this class or is fussy or hungry, but last night he was wide awake (I fed him right when we got there, so that seems to be the trick). The facilitator and the Occupational Therapist "played" with him for a while. They were working on his head control and stretching his neck muscles so he stops favoring the right side. She showed me a stretch to do with his head and neck, but I feel like I'm going to pop his head off, so I don't know if I'll be doing it very often...or maybe a lighter version! Then we did a "me map" of Finn...that means we traced him on paper. It will be interesting to see the difference between now and in the fall.
Well, we're back to not pooping. Finn hasn't gone since Wednesday afternoon or evening (I can't remember if we went in the evening or not...but know that he did in the afternoon). Argh. I think it is because he's been throwing up his prunce juice and that is where he gets his Miralax. So, Jim gave him Miralax with formula this morning and no projectile vomitting! Yeah. Hopefully that will help and hopefully he will keep more down tonight. If the problem isn't puking, it is pooping with Finn!
I am going to my Grandma and Grandpa Smith's 60th wedding anniversary party tomorrow in Benson. Can you believe SIXTY years?!?! That is crazy. It should be an interesting day for dad and son, as I'm leaving at 9:30am and hoping to be back around 6pm! I better put the pump in my car tonight, or I just know I will forget it. I just wish I could bring Finn with...oh, some day.

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.

I'm still trying to imagine SIX years!

I'm sure Finn'll grow a ton in a few months!!
Good luck with the pooping! I never had that problem with Q...in fact...she's still pooping several times some days. Until solids, almost every diaper was a poopy diaper. :)
