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.

Monday, June 6

Bye, bye, Finn

Mom and Jeff stayed at our house Saturday night (we came home to a picked-up house!) and mom went with the kids and me to church Sunday morning. Lynn was supposed to come here to pick Finn up for a week of frolicking in Oville on Monday, but my mom suggested taking Finn with her to Murdock on Sunday, then Lynn would only have to drive that far to get him today. SO, in less than 30 minutes, Jim talked to his parents to see if that would be okay, I packed everything I could think of for Finn, Jim got all the equipment packed in their car and we sent Finn on his way for his first "Big Boy Away From Home" trip. I was definitely a little sad to see him go. He asked Grandma where mommy was going to sit in their car! He didn't quite get it. He is in for the time of his life this week. And there are two things I already noticed today: 1. I can get a crap ton more stuff done with just having one child! 2. I have been able to "connect" with Korri in a way I haven't been able to do yet, and that is very special to me. I just have more time and patience with her because she is my only concern. She likes the attention, too!

Last night, the three of us went over to auntie Becca's for an early birthday dinner celebration. The point of celebrating on Sunday was so that Finn could come along, but I guess I ruined that plan. Sorry, auntie! I hope Korri was enough to keep you busy ;) I ended up getting a really bad migraine that lasted all night, so we didn't stay too late. I hate getting migraines when I'm pregnant or nursing because I can't take my normal medication and sometimes, a cocktail of caffeine, Tylenol and Advil just doesn't cut it! Maybe it is a blessing that Finn is gone today and I "only" have one child to take care of!
