Week 22 and counting

Today is day two of week twenty-two. I feel pretty good despite being tired. This little guy sure likes to kick a lot much like Finnegan did. The main thing that is bothering me is that I am having a hard time walking. I've developed a sort of waddle that helps me to alleviate some of the pain. Unfortunately, the lower back pain and sciatica are always there.

On the lighter side of things, we had a really good week at the studio, we were totally swamped and we had a record sales day today! Business is good.

This weekend Doug went out of town for a recruiting trip to the University of Michigan, so Finnegan and I are on our own. Today when we got home from the studio Finnegan ran around the house yelling, "Daddy, Daddy." He looked in every room and I had to tell him that Daddy would be home in a few days. I think we will start a countdown so that he understand that Daddy will be returning soon. As a result of Doug's absence Finnegan was off his routine and bathtime wasn't any fun. So, I cheered him up by making some popcorn and eating it in bed while we looked at helicopter photos. He just loves helicopters or "coppers" as he refers to them. He's just so cute.

Tomorrow is a day off and we will be carving pumpkins and getting our costumes ready for Tuesday night. Finnegan can already say, "trick or treat." He's pure cherub when he utters those words.

Candy foraging will be fun with him.
