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.

All better?

Well, I think/hope that Jim and I must have had the 24 hour version of Finn's 6 day bug. We are both feeling better, but not quite 100%. Weird. I think it is easier to stay hydrated when you know you should eat and drink certain things instead of being a stubborn 2 year old and only doing what you want! I keep telling Finn that mommy knows best, but he doesn't seem to believe me yet...ha, ha! I bet he never will until he has his own kids ;)

Korri has been extra fussy and seems to be extra gassy the last few days. Jim keeps saying she is colicky, but if she is, it is nothing like Finn was when he had colic. There is just so little you can do for gas. On the bright side, I took my aunt's advice and turned the audio monitor off at night (Korri's door is right across the hall from ours). Part of me feels really guilty when I wake up and she is crying because I don't know how long she has been crying, but the other part is so happy to be getting between 3 and 4 hour stretches between feedings. Sleep does wonders for mommy's temperament during the day...hmmm, imagine that. And I honestly don't think she is crying that long...I'm a mom after all and don't we all wake up instantly when a baby is crying? I think it is ingrained. Dad's...not so much ;)
