First up - My Lucky Fin!
He has healed so incredibly well from surgery! We went in 2 weeks after he went under to take the cast off and take a look at the progress. The normally say it's about 2-4 weeks and they made it seem that his was so extensive that it would have to be 4 weeks. Well they took the cast off and the doctor said that it's one of the best he's seen! My little man was able to keep his cast off! We were so excited because we were going on vacation up north and anyone who has had a child in a cast, in the cold, knows that it's not easy putting jackets on over a hard cast. Plus we were happy that he would be able to use his hand again and get used to the movement. He has adjusted quite well and when you ask to see his fingers he proudly shows you his hand so you can see the progress. Hope that's a good thing and that it doesn't come back to haunt us later on!
Aside from surgery he is growing much fast that I would like! He talks all the time, is now in swim lessons (has been since 3 months) but is without mommy or daddy now, he's such a big boy. Along with that he loves all sports, if it comes on the TV he stops and just says "ball, ball, ball" over and over while watching whatever sport it may be. Anything to do with being outside and he is all for it, and like most boys loves to make a mess :) He is a precious and sweet loving boy that I adore! I can't wait to see his personality grow more and more as he gets older.
Second up - The Rest!
So the past 8 weeks I have been in grad school, busting my butt trying to make it through 2 classes while being a mom and wife, oh and have some social life with our friends. Let me tell you, it was super hard but all worth it! I am taking a break due to the fact that my next 8 weeks would end right before my due date. Knowing I went into labor at 37 weeks last time, I wasn't going to chance finals and giving birth overlapping. Entirely too much! With that said, I am in my third trimester at 31 weeks as of yesterday. Gosh. It went by so much faster than last time! Probably because I am chasing around an 18 month old active little boy! It's been a rougher pregnancy than the last one so to say that I am ready for this baby to be out of me is an understatement! Plus I'm excited to meet our second little boy :)
Third up - I Opened My Own Shop!
I have officially opened up my own Etsy store! I started making baby clothes closet organizers and it seemed to really take off! More than I thought and so with so many questions I decided I would open my own online shop and direct everyone to it and go from there. It just became live today but I am super excited about it! Check it out :)
