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.

#2

Okay, it isn't what you're thinking. I'm not talking about poop for once. I'm referring to the fact that Finn FINALLY got tooth #2 yesterday! It is on the bottom next to his other one. He has been working on that tooth forever and it finally popped through. He is still really sucking on his fingers and biting things, so either that tooth is still causing him discomfort for those top ones are coming in, too. We'll have to wait and see. For now, bring on the Orajel!

Saturday was great. Finn loved swim class and he was so comfortable in the water, he would put his legs in the air and grab his feet while floating on his back! After swimming, we dropped Finn off at Becky's where Mom was watching Austin and headed to When in Rome, a romantic comedy. It was a little weird, but overall a good, cute movie. More importantly, it just felt good to go out and do something "normal." After the movie, we headed home and then to dinner at El Loro for Nick's birthday (two "normal" things in one day?!?!). Yumm-o! We brought Finn with us and he was really good. He loves all the sounds and people and lights to look at. Then we came home, had cake (homemade chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and chocolate ice-cream...Nick likes chocolate!), hung out and played The Game of Things. OMG, so much fun. You HAVE to get this game! It is for 4 or more players and we were crying we were laughing so hard.

And, I finally bought a dressy winter coat. I've been wanting/needing one for maybe three years and just haven't done anything about it. Probably because I hate shopping and when you buy a coat, you need somebody else's opinion and I don't have a shopping partner too often (and Finn doesn't really express his opinion about coats very well!). But after the movie and before we picked Finn up, we stopped at Macy's (Becky lives about three blocks from Maplewood Mall). I found one I liked, but wanted a bigger size (I have strangely long arms and broad shoulders!). We reserved the correct size at Ridgedale and headed over there on Sunday to pick it up. It is a wool blend, knee length and cream! It is funny because I swore I wanted a chargoal gray one, but this one was so pretty and flattering...and I got the deal of the century! Now maybe Jim and I should go somewhere so I can wear it.
