I forgot to mention Finn's new PT visit yesterday. Finn's Early Intervention teacher came yesterday and brought a physical therapist with her. Even though Finn already goes to PT, I thought it would be a good idea to have another set of eyes take a look at him. It was a good appointment and much more laid back than his other PT appointments (it also helped that it is at our house). She asked what we were already doing and made some suggestions, some of which were new to me and others were reminders. One really good piece of information that came out of the visit is that she said that with proper head placement and propping, there is no reason to think that Finn's head won't be round in the back (instead of somewhat flat on the one side like it is now). I didn't realize we could do anything about it (other than get him fitted for a helmet, which we didn't want to do), so she gave me some tips for working on that. Finn kind of had a meltdown by the end of the appointment, so we cut it short. We also changed the teacher's visits from monthly to every other week since so much can happen and change in a babies life in a month. Overall, a very good appointment.
Oh, and I made butternut squash yesterday. Seriously, so yummy. I'm going to have to go back to the Famer's Market to get another one. The good thing is that I don't think Jim likes it, so it is all for me (and Becky, if she wants some!). And it will make wonderful baby food when Finn is able to eat solids!!!

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.
