Finley arrived on June 2, 2017 at 12:23 pm. Despite her Aunt Cassidy predicting she would be a big baby, she weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces (two ounces below average for those statisticians out there). She is our miracle. The goal was to start this blog the day she was born, but Finley had other plans. Not one to be happy sitting still, Finley and I have not stopped moving since that beautiful sunny day when Finley left the coziness of the womb after an extended visit (she was born 5 days after her May 28 due day). Hey, I don't blame her, I'm sure it was cozy in there. Accordingly, I did not have a chance to sit down in front of computer until I physically returned to work on 9/5/2017.
After Finley made her way down the birth canal, while I pushed (our first successful team effort), Dr. Thomas tossed her to me like a football...I caught her. Touchdown! My first thought was holy moly she's beautiful...followed by, holy moly, she is strong, as she pulled herself up on my chest.
Take Note: One might notice that Finley appears to be somewhat apprehensive. I have since learned that Finley, like her mom, is not too fond of transitions. Together we take it day-by-day. #warriors
