Caitlin's first week

So far so good. Our little miss is really doing great and fitting right in, almost as if she's always been here!

Right now she's still sleeping and eating lots. Breast feeding is going very well for us. We bought some formula on the way home from the hospital, but she only had one ounce, then my milk came in.

She is definitely a champion eater, with her longest eating stretch - about three to four hours - being in the evening. Apparently evening 'cluster feeds' are common as a way of 'tanking up' for the night. As she gets older this will probably ease up, but as it is right now I'm generally camped out on the couch in front of the TV until midnight every night.

It's not really surprising that her 'alert time' is between 9.30pm and midnight since that was when she was always most active in utero. Funny how that translates.

And Caitlin's first little milestone this week is losing her belly button nub this morning. Pretty much the same as Ben, who also lost his during his first week home. I didn't bother using alcohol on either of their belly buttons.

And now for some more photos...
