He has been growing so well and learning so much.
I have found a mommy to donate my breast-milk to long-term. She has a baby that is three months younger than Finnegan, who she nurses exclusively, but is unable to fully satisfy with her milk supply. I am pumping about 70 ounces a week to go to her little boy. When I was pregnant, it was always my hope to be able to both exclusively breastfeed my son and donate milk.

Breastfeeding exclusively has made nights a lot easier for all of us. Eric no longer has to get up at night to help, since Finn gets his food straight from the tap. We have brought Finnegan into our bed, where he sleeps next to me throughout the night. When he wakes up to eat, I pull him close to me and nurse him as we lay side and side. It is such a special experience. Every night is so calm and peaceful.
