Tortilla Chip

-

Today Finn woke up at 5:30. He only slept about three hours the entire night. Every time the nurses came in to give him medicine or take his vitals they would play with him and get him all excited. Then they would leave. I was furious!

During breakfast we turned the news on and found out that Michael didn't have to go to work because all of Metro Center was flooded. After breakfast Dr. Kelly came and told us that we were going home! He warned us that Finn's head was very delicate and told that his head was as fragile as a tortilla chip. Super!!!


After getting all packed we took Finn downstairs to take some pictures in front of the butterflies.
I also attempted to peak Finn's interest in the frog again. We had a little more luck this time.

On our way home Michael took us to all the places in Hendersonville that had flooded the day before. On the way home I realized how tired I was. I told Michael that I felt like I had been at a church lock-in. In fact I was so tired I felt nauseous.

I was so happy to walk in the door. However, the minute I saw Finn's toys in the den I started crying. I'm not sure why. I think that it was more relief than anything else.

Next we brought in Finn. He jumped in his jumper for a while and then we let him play in the floor with pillows all around. I told Michael that is like having a newborn again. Not only is Finn very delicate he is super needy. He gets so mad when we put him down. He cries so hard that he can't catch his breath and his entire body shakes.


Thankfully Finn took a nice long nap on me so I was able to get a little bit of rest.

Later on in the evening Carissa, Brandon and Addison came to visit Finn and Addison brought Finn a "get well" card and a teddy bear .


We put Finn to bed at 10:00. At 10:40 Finn started screaming. It scared me to death. It sounded like someone was torturing him. Dr. Kelly warned us that he would be fussier than normal, but I was not expecting all the screaming. Michael told me that Finn screamed out about four (4) more times during the night. I was sound asleep and didn't hear a thing :)

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

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.
