Mom of Three

So, this post is kind of a lot of pictures of Finn, but he's just so cute I know you won't mind =). Anyway, how am I doing with three? Great! Many people warned me about the dreaded transition from 2 to 3, but I have to say that I really don't think there could be anything harder for me than going from 0 to 1, (when I had Reid) that was the shock of a lifetime! I think it also helps that Finners is an absolute SWEETHEART of a baby. He is happy almost all of the time, he naps well, and he sleeps great at night. What more could you ask for?! It also helps that we are not doing the jealousy thing so much this time. Reid has been through this before, and Link has always had to share, so they are both doing pretty well. They both really love their new baby brother, and I'm happy when they're happy!

Finn has gotten so BIG! I just took him in for his two week check-up and he gained a whole pound and grew an inch and a half. Way to go little porker!


I just had my first workout postpartum yesterday, and it felt great! I am a little sore still, but so anxious to get back into my routine. To help motivate myself a little more I registered for the 4th of July 5K and the Herriman triathlon in July. I'm also pretty excited because I am already back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Woo hoo! This is the first time THAT has happened so fast. I attribute it to working my BUTT off at the gym and watching what I ate this pregnancy. I only gained 14 pounds this time, and it was worth all of the hard work! This recovery has been stellar so far, and much easier than the previous two times (aside from the pneumonia...).


Love that face!

So, this is how I shower in the mornings. Finn sits in the sink (well out of reach of his well-intentioned big brothers) and he loves it there! Perfect!

He can even look at himself in the mirror!

Last weekend Nate took Reid and Link to the father-son campout, and even though they had a great time, Nate didn't get a lot of great pictures...

Apparently they ate so much junk food that Link totally yacked all over the tent. What is it with camping and puking? This seems to be a theme with Link...

Cheese face!


Mr. Finners and I hung out at home and watched the Bourne Identity. I sure had fun just me and my little one, but I always miss my big boys when they are gone!

I'm nervous about the 1 to 2 kid transition! But you're right, 0 to 1 was the hardest thing ever!

That idea of putting the baby in the sink while you shower is brilliant!
Finn is super cute, glad you are all well!

Hello! I would like to open cosmetology salon. Do you have an experience in this business? There are too many options in beauty salon equipment. Could you give me an advise? What companies are more reliable to buy 10 in 1 professional diamond microdermabrasion machine and best laser hair removal at home devices?
