Finn | Week 1

A look back at Finn's first week at home!
Anyone remember these pictures I took with Fox? I loved them so much that I decided to do them again with Finn. As you can see, he was a big fan!

And here is the comparison, Finn on the left and Fox on the right. Fox was about 2 pounds heavier in this picture, but other than that, I think they look very much alike.
They are actually fraternal twins, just born four years apart. They were conceived at the exact same time in the lab, but Finn was frozen for four years. Science is amazing!

Katie took this picture right when we came home from the hospital. One tired Mama!

Grandma Rene' came over that night to visit for a little bit, before she drove back to California where she just bought a house.

Fox is checking out Finn's feet! He was a little disappointed that he would sleep so much and wasn't ready to play with him yet!

We've been home for about three weeks and he has only asked to hold Finn maybe twice, so I had to capture the moment.

He's definitely a proud big brother, although he told his entire school that his baby's name was Jack after he was first born...not sure where that came from, but I thought it was hilarious.

Two days after we came home from the hospital we decided to take Fox to Open Gym at a nearby Gymnastics place that he loves. When Fox was a baby, we were scared every time we left the house and mostly stayed home, but this time around everything seems so much easier. Fox was pretty excited to have Baby Finn join him at gymnastics!

Katie's grandparents came over one night to meet their newest great-grandson!



Made with lots of love and a little bit of science!
I bought this onesie when I first found out that I was pregnant and it's pretty surreal to see him in it now.


First pediatrician appointment at six days old! He was still 20 inches long and weighed 6lbs, 10oz.

My two boys!

This is pretty much all the did the first week, sleep all day (and night). I had to wake him up every three hours to feed him, since he hadn't gained his birth weight back, but he is a pretty fast eater, so I still got enough sleep at night, even with having to wake him.
Katie was home with us for the first week and Fox was out of school for the week, so we pretty much just relaxed and played at home. I kind of felt bad for Fox that week, because he is usually so active and social at school, so we invited his best buddy over to play one day and those boys played so great together for five hours straight, it was awesome for everyone!


Look at those wrinkles on his leg...love it! Such a sweet boy!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
