Our little leprechaun

Here is our little leprechaun yesterday:He definitely got into the spirit of the day! More pics on our pic website!

Finn did great with the bottle feeding yesterday. He ate two times for the evening shift and one and a half times for the night shift. That is really good considering it was his first time having a bottle ever. I breast fed him four times today and he did great each time. However, he had spells during them, but the nurses said that is very common and doesn't "count" as far as a real spell. I think he was tired and was getting too much milk at one time.

I asked the nurse practitioner who rounded on him today and his nurse about whether or not Finn will have a monitor when he comes home (per my concerns in my post last night). They both said that he will most likely be on a monitor when he comes home. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, he shouldn't come home if he isn't ready or if he is going to be having spells. On the other hand, if he has a monitor, we will have a certain level of comfort knowing that if/when he does have a spell, we will know about it. Oh, I can't wait until the spells are a thing of the past. Just one more thing to keep first-time parents up at night!

The end is definitely in sight as his nurse mentioned that I can bring in his carseat soon so they can test it and Finn can be tested while in it. They don't do that until close to the end. Don't get me wrong, I'm still thinking it will be near his due date (its not like next week or something), but it is reassuring just the same.

Okay, so I think I lied. A while back I mentioned that I thought Finn was going bald...but he never did! It is a little thinner on the back of his head (because babies lay on their back so much), but the rest is actually getting longer and a little curly. Somebody said he needs a hair cut...um...no! Maybe after his first birthday!
