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.

Define "fine"

I talked to Finn's doctor yesterday. She said as long as he seems to be improving, we just need to watch for the "normal" symptoms and make sure he doesn't get worse. She did say that if we had talked to her on Sunday night instead of the on-call doctor, she would have had us bring him in to get checked out. In a way that made me feel better because both Jim and I were on the verge of bringing him in even though the doctor didn't think it was necessary. Other than being very tired, spitting up (which Finn never does any more) and moaning a lot, he seems to be fine (I guess that list doesn't make it sound like he is very "fine." Maybe "better" is the more appropriate word). I also have him drugged up on Tylenol and Ibuprofen (I didn't know we could give him that, but his doctor recommended it because you can alternate with Tylenol and keep him more comfortable).

Oh, I forgot to mention that we met one of our neighbors the other night! What, you say we've lived here for two years and are just now meeting our neighbors?!?! Yes, I know...shameful. Austin was out riding his Big Wheel and they heard him and came over. They live two houses down, have a 15 month old girl and the mom stays at home! I'm really excited to get to know them (especially since Meytal and Lyla are leaving us!). They've lived there for 6 years and seem to know the neighborhood and neighbors. She stopped by today for a quick chat...I still forgot to get her number and/or email address! I'm better at planning than just stopping by (you know me!). This is a fun new development in our lives.

We have a play date with Meytal and Lyla today...hoping to go to the Nicollet Mall Farmer's Market. Not that I need anything specific; I just love Farmer's Markets. Then in the afternoon we have PT. Hopefully Finn is up to all the activity since he has been extra tired the last few days!
