Grandma and Grandpa Thoma’s Visit

Finn spent some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa during their two week visit. We’re so glad they were able to make the trip over to see their grandson so soon after his birth. It was extremely helpful to have them here while Matt was away in the US, too.

Grandma had a special knack for getting Finn to sleep. She logged a lot of miles as she walked him around the apartment to induce sleep. Many of those miles were after middle of the night feedings. I don’t think she slept through a night here. She was always getting up to check on us.



Grandpa was in charge of pushing the stroller on walks. We discovered the more cobblestones, the better. They put Finn right to sleep. I think we’ll be wearing out the stroller wheels at some point with all those bumps. Grandpa and Finn bonded as they watched a few baseball games on TV. Their matching clothes made it obvious which team they were rooting for (Go Brew Crew!).



We are so appreciative of all the love and support they gave us during their visit and continue to give us from afar. Finn is very lucky to have such loving grandparents.

Happy Birthday!

Gramma Barb celebrated a birthday last weekend. Since Finn wasn’t able to wish her a happy birthday in person, he did the next best thing and did it over Skype. He’s saving his birthday hug and kiss for when she comes to Switzerland later this month.

One Month Old Already

It’s amazing how life has changed in just one month for us. It can be exhausting at times but it is truly the most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced.

Finn had his one month check up today at the pediatrician. Just getting me and Finn dressed and out the door is still a challenge but we did well this morning. The pediatrician had all good things to say. Finn gained 800 grams in the past month. He is now 4.42kg (9 lbs. 12 oz.) . He also grew 7 centimeters. Our baby boy is growing!


Hello Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma and Grandpa Thoma made the trip to Switzerland to meet their new grandson. It was a very special moment when they saw Finn in person for the first time.
