Home Alone

As many people predicted, Liam has cried more at home than he did at the hospital. I think its because we're still trying to work out his nursing and sleeping schedule. It was frustrating trying to figure out how to make him feel better late at night last night and into the early morning. He's still sleeping for three or four hours at a time though once we get him content.

Makoto spent the whole day near Liam. He didn't want to go outside or eat, just be near Liam. Someday, he's going to realize that Liam is going to be here for a long time and he'll need to eat anyway. I think he's adopted him into the "pack." Meanwhile, Yuki still won't get near him. Yuki's probably annoyed that there's a new person invading his territory.

Its amazing how our sense of time is already getting distorted. Depending on what Liam is doing, time either flies or drags. A couple hours of sleep seems like 10 minutes while 15 minutes of burping, rocking, swaddling, shushing, etc. feels like an hour. Meanwhile, the things we're used to take much longer now - like going to a new room, or eating a meal. These normally trivial tasks have become undertakings involving many interruptions. I'm sure we'll get into the swing of it soon though.

It seems like longer, but Liam is only a little over 5 days old!
