He's slowing down, though - only 18 lbs 8.5 ounces when we took him to the doctor last week (us? at the doctor? really?).My mom was here last week, which was great, especially with finals creeping up on me. I think if I can just make it to the end of the semester, I can breathe again, but it's been pretty intense lately. Homework, baby stuff, house stuff, work stuff, planning this Boston trip (a trip I'm looking forward to very much, by the way)... I've been going a little nuts lately, when I'm not just curled up in a ball humming loudly. The sleep deprivation doesn't help. It was nice to be able to hand Finn over to Grandma Sheryl in the mornings and grab a nap, and he seemed to have a blast. He was a real chatterbox while she was here, but seems to have quieted down a bit since she left.
The LASIK went great, and I'm seeing better than 20/20. The surgery itself wasn't painful at all, but it was WEIRD. I mean, I've walked into a candlelit restaurant in Vienna to hear tuxedo-clad musicians playing the Chicken Dance. I've moved to New York, sight unseen, from Iowa. I've been to a completely dry wedding reception. But this was the strangest experience of my life, easily. You're awake the whole time, and all you feel is pressure, just staring at these lights, and then the lights disappear, and ... I guess you just have to try it. The end result couldn't be better though, and it's nice to join the land of the seeing. Yay for no more glasses with baby fingerprints!
Finn's a great sitter these days - we got a video of him playing with Murray today that I hope to get up later in the week, but in the meantime, there are a boatload of new photos over at Flickr, and here's one with my mom:

I actually saw Finn sleeping in his crib yesterday on the crib cam! I could even see his little (?) chest moving with each breath. Cool!
