Baby Finn

My sweet friend, Erin, had her baby boy the day after our friend Kelli. Erin really tried to get that baby out on the same day as Gunner, but Finn Judson Barrett made his appearance @ 10:45 pm on Sept. 22 and weighed 8 lbs 5 oz.

Well right after this sweet boy was born, he had to go to the NICU due to lots of fluid in his lungs. After several days of ups & downs with him....he is finally on the road to recovery & doing much better. He was one week old this past Thursday and his Mommy & Daddy got to hold him for the first time on Wed. I know it was such a precious moment for them & we have b een praying non-stop for sweet Finn & their family. Erin is one of my best & dearest friends....so it was very hard for me to know she was going through this very scary time & I couldn't be there because they live in Indianapolis. So Finn developed pneumonia, had to be on a ventilator, feeding tube & chest tube for several days.....but as of now, he is off of everything but the feeding tube & Erin is slowly getting to start breastfeeding him this week. Everyone's prayers have been working & they hope he will get to go home in about 5 days or so. Praise God for healing Finn!
Here are a few pictures of this baby boy who has been such a "warrior" (meaning of Finn)

Sweet little hand that happens to be making the sign for I love you!


First time to hold him.


About a week old....almost looks like he's smiling. :)


When Erin & Dutch walked in the NICU to see him the other morning....the amazing nurses had left this note! Awwwhhhh....


He has regular clothes on & this adorable hat.


YAY!! Finn is off of oxygen now, too!



God Bless you guys & can't wait to see Finn go home very soon! Go Finn GO!!
