Finn's first week

Daddy soothing Finn before we leave the hospital. We were so excited and ready to go home!

Finn's first bath at home. He didn't like the first bath, but now he loves to get clean and he smells sooo good afterwards.


All snuggly and warm after his bath.

...and finally, asleep and content.

The last week...


The events of the last week have been completely crazy! We went to the doctor on Monday to get some test results and it turns out I had preeclampsia, so she sent us immediately over to the hospital. You can imagine our surprise! So, after 2 1/2 days of being induced with no results, my doctor decided that it was time for a cesarean. I was nervous, but relived to finally meet our new son. Turns out, it would have been a difficult birth due to the fact that he had a larger head, he was "sunny side up" and he had a knot in his umbilical cord. Talk about the odds stacked against us! Nevertheless, we are now home. We had to stay in the hospital a few extra days because my blood pressure is still high from the preeclampsia, so we were there a total of 7 days and are so glad to be home. I am still recovering and my BP is a little high, but my doctor is keeping an eye on me and I am resting. Thanks to all of you who have sent their prayers and good wishes. We are doing well and hope you can all come and visit and meet Finnley soon!

"Elfed"

David's mom "elfed" us and I have to say, these animated moves don't even compare to the one's that the Miller family has in real life. I've seen Mark do the funky chicken dance a time or 2. I think that David is the funniest elf, but you decide. Check us out here:

*Snow Day*


Today was the first "official" snow of the season here in KC. It was actually very pretty, but annoying when I had to leave work in the middle of it to go to the doctor for a check-in. I think the forecast was for 2-4", and we maybe got about 2" at the house. My beautifully cleaned white car is now all gross and brown! :(
