My Last Day Home

-



Today I fed Finn in the car for the first time. I had a huge blanket in the car and both Finn and I were completely covered up. I looked like a huge, brown ghost. I heard people laughing as they walked by the car - I am positive they were laughing at me. I am sure that I looked pretty ridiculous.

Today is my last day at home with Finn. I can't believe it is over. It seems like last week that I was cleaning up my office preparing for my time at home. I have dreaded this day for months. I thought that I would be a basket case but instead I have felt much joy and peace. Don't misunderstand, leaving Finn is very difficult and I am heartbroken over the time I will lose with him, but God has granted me mercy. He has allowed me to spend this last week doing fun things with Michael and Finn instead of feeling depressed and on top of that He has made it possible for me to feel excited about about returning to work.

These last few months have been the the best of my whole life. I know that Finn will never remember them, but we have had a lot of fun and one day I can show Finn this blog and fill him in how we spent his first few months . I am so thankful to my office, my sweet husband and my ever faithful Heavenly Father for allowing me this precious time with my Finn. I always knew that I would have children, but I never knew that I wanted to be a Mom until I met Finn.

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!
