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.

8 weeks!

While Korri isn't technically 2 months until Wed, today she is eight weeks old! It seems like she has been part of our family forever and I barely remember what life was like before she arrived (or what a full night's sleep was like! ha, ha).

Eight week development: Baby's motor skills and senses are developing like crazy. [she is really close to finding her hands to suck on...they occassionally find their way to her mouth, but she hasn't quite figured out how]  Her hand-eye coordination is improving, she's starting to recognize specific sounds and sights, and is getting pretty darned good at holding up her head. [thankfully, she is pretty much mastered this skill, considering all the problems we had with Finn!] Also this week: It's time for baby's two-month checkup! Your doc will check her overall growth and development and give a round of immunizations. [Her appt is next week, I hope that Jim can come along...it seems he got out of a lot of Finn's immunizations!]

We had a nice, quiet, stay-at-home day yesterday. We don't get many of them. Today we are headed out to the twin's second birthday party! Should be lots of fun and I can't wait to see their Noah's Ark cake that their master baker/decorator mom is making :)
