Finn arrived via c-section on April 29, 2011! He weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds 3 ounces and is 20 inches long. He is a chubby little guy with dark hair like his Momma. Unfortunately, he has some fluid in his little lungs and is having a rough time slowing his breathing down. They are keeping him in the NICU for now on oxygen and IV antibiotics, please pray for our sweet baby and the doctors and nurses taking care of him.
Momma and Daddy love you so much Finn!
(I'm not sure how to a picture on here since I'm blogging on my phone, but trust me he's gorgeous! I'll add one as soon as I get access to my laptop.)

Maternity Pics
Jeff works with a girl who is just getting into photography and offered to take some maternity pictures for us for an incredible deal. I was 34 weeks when these were taken and I thought at the time I was huge! I had no idea just how much bigger I would be in three short weeks, haha! Chasty did a fantastic job and I'm really pleased with the photos. She is also going to take Finn's newborn pictures and I can't wait to see how those turn out. Here are a couple of my favorites...

New Camera
I've been saving up since Christmas for a new camera and the one I have been eyeing went on sale last week, so Jeff and I headed to Best Buy and picked up our brand new Nikon D3100! I have never really had more than just a simple point and shoot camera so I'm a little intimidated by all the bells and whistles on this bad boy, but I've already been able to get some great shots which makes me a little more confident. I am going to try and take a class to learn more about the differenct features and am looking into what the best editing software I can afford is. Here are a couple of what I think are the better shots I've gotten so far.

Finn at 35 weeks
I had an ultrasound on Monday morning to try and determine just how big Finn is these days. Dr. Harrison was surprised to say the least about how big this "little" guy is, HA! Right now, Finn is measuring at 38 weeks and is approxiamately 7lbs 5oz. With 5 more weeks to go and an average weight gain of 1/2 a pound a week, that would make Finn almost 10lbs by the time he's due. Dr. Harrison has agreed to induce me at 39 weeks, so unless Finn decides to come on his own before then it looks like we will have a baby by the end of the month. We are hopeful that he will come before then, without complications or having to have a c-section, but mostly we are just praying for a happy and most importantly healthy baby boy! And now on to the good stuff, pictures of our sweet guy....

I can't wait to have him in my arms and kiss his sweet face. I'm so excited to see who he looks like!!!
