Finn got his second dose of Synagis today! Of course, with a little drama. I swear the pharmacy company can't do anything right and they have an entire department and program just for Synagis! They act like they've never done it before. They forgot to mail it out to me, so they had to send it to arrive today. Well, the nurse was supposed to come at 9am, but we had to move it to 2pm with the package arriving between 10:30 and Noon. It finally arrived at 1pm, which means we had to miss Jim's holiday party at work. Oh, well. The good thing is that Finn got his shots. Yes, two of them. He is one kilo too big for one syringe. They weighed him at 17 pounds, 6 ounces, but I think their scale was a little off and that he is a little bigger than that. I guess we'll see at his one year well-child check in TWO WEEKS! Yikes.
I finally bought my last Christmas gift today and started wrapping. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, I know! And I found my new favorite store: Creative Kidstuff! I say I "found" it because I first looked for the one in Maple Grove, couldn't find it, looked in Minnetonka, they moved and finally found one in St. Louis Park. I was about ready to scream. Anyway, I got Austin's present there today. It was the first time I'd been in one and I could easily max out my credit cards there. They have educational toys and games and stuff like that for babies and kids. Austin would flip in there. I found something I wanted to get Finn (okay lots of somethings, but one in particular), but I controled myself and I'll wait until after Christmas just in case!
The NICU follow up clinic called me back today and we made an appt. I'm not sure what they do or why it is offered, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they have to say and how they think Finn is doing.

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.
