So I woke up this morning at 2:30am to feed Emma a bottle and my face felt wierd. So I looked in the mirror and the right side of my face is paralyzed!! I thought I was just sleeping on that side of my face and that it would be gone in the morning. It is not gone. Its like I went to the dentist to have some work done and the numbness will never go away! So I called my doctor, Dr. Melinda Cave, and she says she has seen this many times in patients. In 85% of patients it goes away! She has started me on steroids and antiviral medicine to cure the problem. In the meantime, I am very annoyed! I can't smile, close my right eye, pucker my lips...nothing! The real horrible thing is that I can't keep my right eye closed enough to keep my eye lubricated. So I have to keep putting in no tear drops, and I have to wear a patch over my eye at night! My daughters are going to think that I am a pirate when I get up to feed them! Seriously...this is horrible and very strange! The medicine better work fast!
By the way, Emma rolled over last week! Yeah Emma! And this morning at the doctor Emma weighed 8lbs 4 oz and Camden is 9lbs! They are getting so big!

Milestone
Last night during a family photo shoot with Megan Sagers, Camden Finlinson rolled over! We couldn't believe that she was strong enough to do that! It was so amazing! These little girls are growing up so fast! I am sure Emma will be rolling over within the week!

Happy New Year!
After a 5 and 1/2 weeks in the hospital, Emma finally came home! Just in time to celebrate the new year with her parents and sister! We are so thrilled to finally have both of them home! It might be lots of work with no sleep for the next few months, but these cute babies are totally worth every minute! We could not ask for two better babies, and spend all our time looking at them and dressing them up! We could not think of a better way to start off a new year then with these two little miracle babies home with us! We hope that you all had a great Christmas and are as excited for the new year as we are! 2008 is going be grrreaat!
I hope you enjoy all of the pictures! It is amazing how fast they change and grow! I love that they are starting to get double chins...even though they have long skinny bodies!

Amanda & Rob Finlinson
Our Story...
- Amanda Finlinson
- Rob and I met in November of 2002 in the financial services office at BYU. After a very akward introduction, which involved me introducing myself in the third person, Rob called and asked me out. After a pretty amazing first date (its a long story-some other time), I confidently told Rob "that once he dated me he would never want to date anyone else." I really had no idea at that point that it was going to work out so well. We dated for the next five months and then one beautiful night on a bridge at Sundance resort, Rob and I got engaged. We were married four months later on August 16, 2003 in the Las Vegas, NV temple. And we have been living happily ever after since...
