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.

Shiny and new

Mommy got a "new" car yesterday! We've been looking for a car for about 2 months now and we finally found one that I LOVE and it fit into our price range and budget! First, I HATE car shopping, as you know since I've mentioned that a few times already! Second, bringing a baby along to a car dealer makes it a little more difficult, especially when it takes THREE HOURS to buy a darn car! I do have to say, Finn was really good until the very end when all he wanted to do was sleep but it was too bright, too loud and too much activity.

I/we got a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring (this isn't my exact car, but it is the same):This is the first used car I've bought but it doesn't even feel "used." It is metallic green, but looks very silvery (not a word, but I don't care). I'm just glad it isn't silver. It is all wheel drive (yay!), leather heated seats, third row seating, second row captain chairs, power everything and just under 25,000 miles. My car was at 36,000 miles, so I for sure wanted something lower than that. The only thing it doesn't have is a remote start, so I'll see what I can do to get that! Ha, ha. Honestly, it has far more bells and whistles than I was looking for or needed, but like I said, it fit into our budget so why not get the one you love, right? It was the only car I test drove yesterday. Don't worry, I've probably test drove 15 other ones in the course of our search. I will miss the Galant. I loved that car and it was the first car I got because I loved it and not just because I could afford it, but it just wasn't right for our needs any more. I hope they find somebody to love it and treat it well.

I'm sure Finn and I need to run some "errands" today! His Synagis is supposed to be delivered today by 10:30am...yes it is already after that time. Argh. I hope they didn't forget to send it again. I'm supposed to call his home health nurse when it arrives and she is hopefully going to be able to squeeze us in around her other scheduled appointments today. Only two more doses and then RSV season will be over! Yay! As we near Finn's adjusted one year date, I'm starting to breathe just a little easier; or at least THINKING about breathing a little easier!

ahhh fun!! I bought a Pacifica when I found out I was pregnant!! I LOVE, LOVE it!! It sucks cause they don't make them anymore :( (I think 07 was the last year) cause I would love a newer one in a few years. Well, well, we're going to have matching cars and car seats! ha, ha. Great preemie mamas think alike :)

I didn't know they don't make the Pacifica any more. Boo! Great minds, do think alike :)
