And now I know that three car seats will fit in my back seat! I watched Austin and Quinn yesterday and Mike met me to hand over Quinn. I was worried when Mike struggled a little to get her seat buckled in, but no need. They all fit! Fun was had by all and I hope Quinn didn't mind being called "Maia" all day by Austin! Now I know a small bit about what it would be like to have three kids under the age of four...except they all get along :) Quinn's daycare mom is about ready to have a baby, so I get to help out while she is on leave and watch Quinn for a couple days a week for a few weeks. I'm bummed that this is happening right when Austin is leaving me because they play together so well and I know Quinn has more fun with Austin than me (I'm not a loud, bossy boy to keep up with!). But having two at a time instead of three might save me a little sanity, too! Ha, ha. It will be nice for Finn to still have a little person around to watch and "play" with.
We had Finn's eye doctor appointment yesterday. The report is basically that all is well...for now. They did several tests and he did well on all of them. They didn't dilate his eyes so no update on the progress of his far-sightedness and due to the degree it was last time, he needs to be seen again in 6 months. If we notice him crossing his eyes TWICE during that time, we have to bring him in (so if you see him do it, let us know!). Crossing his eyes is a sign that it is getting worse and he is having a hard time focusing. Worse case scenario, I think, though, is that he will need glasses. We'll cross that bridge when/if we get to it. His far-sightedness could be from prematurity, the ROP and/or genetics (as his mother was also very far-sighted as a child).

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.
