Liam comes home....

Last night was a good night and Liam is really getting the hang of breastfeeding (as is Annette) and sleeping! We got a few solid hours so although we're a bit tired we feel pretty good. We had a visit from the pediatrician today and he got a clean bill of health, as did Annette from the OB - so we were discharged and are now home. It is great to be home but we do miss having all those helpful nurses around.

I've been able to get back to the real world (although I'd rather not) and get through a billion email or so. Despite our world coming to a halt when he arrived, the rest of the world still generated emails and work for me to do! No worries though as I closed a deal today with a new client 8 miles from the house! This reduces my business travel (on airplanes) a lot so we're all thrilled about that since it's been many years since I didn't have to travel (which is one of the hassles of being a consultant).

We have been fumbling through changing diapers and trying to figure out what temperature to keep the house, but overall things are going great. The little guy is doing all the right things (like sleeping, eating and pooping regularly) and hasn't fussed too much at all. So far so good! We're both hoping that he got Annette's sleep gene and not mine...she can sleep through anything and falls asleep the second she lays her head down..I'm not so lucky.

I've also been taking lots of pictures because he has lost some weight, which is normal, but it makes him look different from when he was first born. He's now 8pnds 1 ounce but we're expecting him to rebound quickly given how much he's been eating. He also had a boxer's nose for the first day and a half as I guess he got squished coming out. He's a handsome man but we still can't figure out who he looks more like or which side of the family, if either, dominates. Who cares though...he's awesome!
