Four years ago, we were living in Hawaii. Eric and I had just bought Maile (our beagle) and we were so excited for a baby. I was SWOLLEN in the October heat of Hawaii. No trade winds. No air conditioning. I was so ready for the baby to be OUT that one night after Eric went to bed, I called my friend Jamie. I asked her to make a trip to Walmart with me. Mind you it was 9pm. We went and I bought 4 oz of Castor oil. Then we went to her house to make a shake. But her husband was asleep so we didn't want to wake him with the blender. I decided to shoot the nasty stuff and chase it with a Dr Pepper.
2 and a half oz later I was gagging and almost threw up. But alas, I kept it down and went home to bed. Fast forward to 2:30am. In the bathroom from then till 4:30. Literally, I did not leave the toilet. Thought I was going to DIE. Got back in bed and slept till 6:30 when I woke up with contractions.
After 23 hours of labor and a delivery that was the utmost painful thing I could ever imagine possible, I was blessed with a little red headed boy! Since then my life has not been the same.
I am enrolling Finn in pre-school tomorrow because he is driving me nuts. He is so dang smart that he needs to be challenged every min and I just can't keep up with him. He loves to play with Neelah and is such a big helper to me. He is the sweetest, most sensitive little guy. He wakes up in the morning and runs to me to give me a hug and a kiss. He tells me periodically throughout the day that I am "beautiful". He wants Savvy and Neelah to grow up faster so that they can play rough with him but he is quick to kiss Neelah's ow-ies.
Finn brightens my days and makes me laugh. I can't wait to see what he will grow up to become.
