Our first week home with Finn has been good, and pretty uneventful. He learned to nurse in about 10 seconds flat when he was just a few minutes old and has been a champion eater ever since. He continues to eat every 2-3 hours day and night, so we are hoping that those nighttime feedings will start to get less frequent sometime soon. He also occasionally decides to binge in the middle of the night - he wants to nurse constantly for a few hours at a time! - yikes!
It is good to know that he's eating well and growing though. He had his one-week appointment with the doctor on Friday, and was already up to 8 lbs, from 7lbs 12 oz at birth. Yay, Finn! We also took him back to the hospital to have his jaundice levels checked, and they were fine - no lights needed - despite his bad orange spray-tan look this week. =)

So glad he doesn't have to go under special lights. I don't know what is more difficult-- binge nursing in the middle of the night or during the evening hours when dinner is susposed to be getting made-- that is usually when my babies wanted to binge- 5/6-8/9 at night. He is wonderful!
