Teething is the Pits!!!!

Poor, poor Finn. Last night around 10:30 I went to check on Finn before bed as I always do, I opened the door and a what can only be described as an uber vomit smell radiated about the room. I assumed that it was my sour dough bread that had been left to rise in Finn (warmest room in the house) room was the culprit so I grabbed the bread, gave it a sniff and took it downstairs to bake. About 15 minutes later I went back in and noticed the same smell, I quietly walked over to Finn's bed and gently put dabbed my fingertips around on this sheets. I won't go into detail, but I have never seen so much vomit in my entire life. When I woke him up I almost cried. He was so pitiful. It was all over him in his hair, on his face on his jammies. I felt so sorry for him. He acted pretty scared when I woke him up so I had to hug on his for a few minutes which meant I was covered too. I gave Finn a bath and washed his hair twice.

After the bath, I put on some new clothes which Finn promptly, and as if on cue, vomited all over. We took him downstairs and gave him some pedialyte. After finishing the entire cup, he vomited all of that back up . . . on me. Note this was both mine and Finn's third set of jammies. He woke up this morning seemingly much better. Victoria said that he seemed fine but didn't have much of an appetite. This held true most of the night. However, Finn loves his Mama's sour dough bread and asked for some. He also ate two apple slices before bed.

It is neat to feed Finn now because he will actually tell you want he wants. I asked him before bed what he wanted for his snack and he looked at me and said "apples." I grabbed a few apple slices and the two of us sat on the couch on the electric blanket and watched a few minutes of the new "Alice in Wonderland" during our wind down time. He really watches this movie pretty closely, probably because it is so crazy looking.

Yesterday was MLK day so we were all home together all day. Finn and I went to the grocery store to get some cheese for the lasagna and then we went to wash the car. The day was pretty laid back, Finn played on his pillows with his dad. Finn loves playing on the big pillows.


He has also taken a liking to taking all of his clean diapers out of the packaging and putting them in the garbage . . . brilliant child.

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!
