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.

Just come in already!

We think it is his teeth. Finn seemed to be better yesterday. He slept a lot, was lethargic and spit up a lot more than usual during the day. When I put him to bed for the night, he woke up about half and hour later just screaming even though I'd already preemptively given him Tylenol. Jim didn't want to give him any Orajel because he thinks that might have contributed to Finn's vomiting the previous night. There was no consoling him and eventually he cried himself to sleep. Poor guy. Teething (if that is what is wrong) SUCKS!! I am planning on giving Finn's doctor a call today, just to see what she says and if there is anything we can do (and to make sure she also thinks it is his teeth).

We met with his teacher from the Early Intervention program through the Minneapolis School District yesterday morning. It was a very good visit. She hadn't met with Finn since the beginning of June because she was off for the summer. Needless to say, he has changed a lot. She did a lot of playing with him and observing and asked me lots of questions. She said that he is doing every thing a 3-6 month baby would be doing, which is great. She is going to come next week and bring a physical therapist with her. I know Finn is already going to PT, but if I've learned anything so far in my parenting journey, is that a second opinion is ALWAYS a good idea!

Poor Finn. Teething does suck!

Jaleah has an early intervention visit today too - we're in the Edina school district. We've had 1 therapist coming since March, but 3 different teachers, so we're looking forward to the new school year, so she'll have a teacher that stays with her for a while.

Hope those teeth pop through soon!
