Kristine works for Medtronic (the company who created and provided the pacemaker) and emailed this story to me. Click here for story. Just as a point of reference, Finn was 880 grams when he was born, this baby was only 541 grams. This story and picture touched my heart for obvious reasons, so I wanted to share with you.
Finn has been 100% nursing for a little over a week now. I had some concerns when we started last week if I would provide enough given his feeding situation since we came home. But he seems to be getting enough, other than he eats every two hours instead of every three. That could be due to lower volume, but also because straight breast milk digests faster than formula, too. I keep meaning to get on the scale here at home with him to see how he is doing weight wise (I'm so used to his weekly weighing!), but haven't done it yet. He SHOULD be right around 10 and a half pounds. He has his SIX MONTH check up on July 16th and he will be SIX MONTHS OLD in a little over a week! How did we get to this point already?!?! Yikes. I hope we are able to breath a little more and enjoy our time a little more during the next six!
I think I mentioned I wanted to make Finn's baptism cake myself. Well, my very smart sister Becky suggested I do a trial cake to make sure everything turned out how I wanted it (she MIGHT have just wanted to eat the practice cake...I'm not sure!). Anyway, I did and it turned out! That cake didn't taste exactly how I wanted, so I'll make a few changes for the actual cake, but I was able to frost the whole thing and I think it looked good. I hope all goes well tomorrow, too, when I make the actual cake (and that we have room in our fridge)!
