We are so excited to have Finn as part of our family! He came 10 days before his due date and after a relatively quick labor (about 6.5 hours), taking us all by surprise. He gave us a little scare at the beginning as he managed to aspirate meconium and required oxygen. Because of his oxygen requirements, Finn was placed in the NICU and given an IV. Poor little guy was hooked up to all kinds of monitors. But I was happy to wake up on Sunday morning and find that he had come off the oxygen at 1am that day and we only had to give him a few more good feedings before he could come off of the IV. He was finally released from the NICU at about 4pm on Sunday (after 24 hours there). We were happy to have him join me on the mom/baby floor and meet his older brother for the first time. They exchanged presents and we had a little birthday party. Kai had picked out cupcakes and foot rattles for Finn, and Finn brought Kai a Percy train and bathtub markers.
Finn and I were released from the hospital on Monday morning and were excited to get home. At home Finn had one more surprise for Kai--a tent and tunnel set-up complete with basketball hoop and balls. Kai has been thrilled with his presents! Finn, in the meantime, has been content to eat and sleep, except between the hours of 10pm and 2am, when for some reason he wants to cuddle and be held and not let me sleep at all!
The last time Finn was weighed was Sunday evening. He weighed in at a mere 5 pounds 14 ounces. Wow! Needless to say, he seems so tiny and all of a sudden Kai seems huge! We have him wearing premie diapers and newborn clothes, which are just swallowing him whole. He is eating well and so I expect he'll be gaining weight in no time. His first doctor's appointment is tomorrow, so I'll let you know.
Welcome home Finn!
