Part II

. . . My alarm when off at 6:00. And when I say alarm, I mean Finn started crying again. One whole hour folks - that's it. Not the best day to have been up all night. Michael had a hearing in Cookville and I had a big meeting downtown. I got Finn up and we went downstairs to rock. Michael went to the pharmacy to get the antibiotic. While he was gone Finn was so pitiful. He laid his head on my shoulder and cried. It was heartbreaking.

Unfortunately I was not able to stay home with Finn today and when I left he was crying and looking at me as if to say "I can't believe you are leaving me when I feel this bad." It was awful. By the time I got home for lunch Finn was feeling much better. He had gone for a stroll and was wearing a cute little shorts outfit. I fed him for a few minutes and then I headed back to the office.

Later on Finn ate a reasonable portion of cereal and then he had a bath. After his bath he put him in his sleeper and laid him on the couch. I was in the kitchen getting his antibiotic when I heard Michael say "whoa" in a nervous tone. Finn had thrown everything up. His entire body was covered in yak. When we picked him up off the couch it went everywhere. No joke, I have never seen an adult throw up that much, much less a baby. Which begs the question, are we feeding Finn more that most adults eat??? By the looks of him, yes.

So we got him undressed as quickly as we could and put him back in the bathtub. Finn was pretty excited because he got to take two baths. We were all zonked pretty early in the evening and Finn sleep very peacefully all night. Thank goodness.

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!
