9 months!!!




I can't believe its been 3 months since I last posted something! I actually have time to sit down and post something because Jake is gone again :( and Finn is sleeping :). Since I wrote last, he has begun to crawl!!! Thats his newest trick. He has also started clapping! Hes growing up so fast. He already has 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom) and is drinking from a sippy cup at daycare I just realized this today when I read his day care sheet. Those ladies have him off the bottle and eating table food snacks! What a big boy :) Finn was baptized June 5th and got to visit with his God-parents Katie and Will, his grandparents, great-grandma and cousin Courtney!
Mommy is getting the hang of things too. A couple days during the week I wake up at 5am, pump out milk then head out the door for a run at 5:45am. Jake gives Finn the breastmilk bottle while I get a run in. Then on Saturdays I meet a friend to do long runs as we are training for a half-marathon in October. Hopefully I'll be finished breastfeeding by then so I don't have that hurdle (the pump) during the trip.
We have moved down the street into a new house as of June 1 and joined the country club nearby so we can all swim during these HOT summer days and Jake can golf. So far we are really enjoying it. Alot of our military friends have joined so we have a nice group to hang out with at the pool. This weekend we are having a cook out at our new house! Even Finn has a buddy coming ;)
At work the hospital has changed over to electronic charting which is throwing everyone for a loop--and with Finn starting to wake up during the night again............my exhaustion is explained. Speaking of exhaustion, I better get ready for bed! Its almost 8pm!! :)

6 months




Wow! So much has happened since I last posted. I have returned to work :( booooo and the only reason I'm able to type this is because Finn has learned to play independently! Work is going well. My days are really busy. I wake up by 5:30am every morning to pump milk for day care. Then Jake and I get Finn and ourselves ready for work--Jake packs up my pump and pump parts and gets Finn's bottles ready for day care while I shower and get dressed. He also makes us breakfast. I could not have been blessed with a more awesome husband/baby daddy ;) After that I drop Finn off at day care then go to work where I pump 3 times to make milk for day care the following day! whew! Besides working, we've been to Mexico and to Pensacola to run a St. patricks day 5K. Finn is such a good little traveler. After returning from Mexico we started feeding him bananas pureed in breastmilk. He seems to really like it! Next we are going to try sweet potatoes. He had his first sick baby visit yesterday :( A trip to Dr. Ross and now hes on antibiotics for an ear infection. Hopefully it will be all cleared up before our trip to Charleston next weekend for our friends' wedding!! Keep tuned in! Hopefully I'll have some more time to post more soon!!!
