Finn's Three Week appointment (Thursday, October 8, 2009)

-







Today Finn went for his three week check up. At this check up he weighed 8 pounds, 12 oz and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. I guess all that eating has paid off. I also learned that Finn does not not have man boobs. The pediatrician explained that his breasts are swollen because of all of the estrogen that he is absorbing through the milk. She said that this will go down in a few weeks.

After the appointment, Dad and Gina came up to visit. During their visit I was able to run some errands. I was also able to cook for our bible study/dinner. I also discovered that Finn considers me his personal vending machine. One time when I was walking past him he looked right at me and opened his mouth really wide. He looked like a baby bird waiting for a worm. I felt so important.

Later on the three of us went to Chris and Regina's for a couples dinner. Finn slept through the entire dinner, but woke up right about the time we started to discuss potential materials.

You may notice that I did not blog about what happened Wednesday. Reason being - nothing happened. Finn and I napped much of the day and night. The lack of sleep is really starting to catch up to me (and apparently Kodiak too - see picture above).

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
