Liam's first day home

Well, it has been a crazy week. Jen and I have gone back and forth from being entirely terrified, to blissfully happy, to being so sleep deprived that we can't walk straight. I really think that my brain has broken down. Yesterday I was changing Liam's diaper, and I was so sleep deprived I could not for the life of me figure out how to button his clothes back up. I seriously stared at it for a good minute, and gave up. Grandma had to do it for me.

Liam and Jen got discharged together yesterday. I videoed the event, but have yet to figure out how to post video to this thing. However, a feature film is is production, so I am sure you will all see it soon. There was a changing of the guard, as I droppped off Tom at the airport and picked up my Mom. Tom was a fantastic help. He was there for Jen and I in every way, and we couldn't be more grateful to him. He even cleaned and vacummed and dusted. We owe Liam's grandpa big time. I also managed to help him spend about 2,000 dollars while he was here, helping him buy a new computer and talking him into to buying an iPod. He got a grandbaby and an entrance pass into the 21st century all in a few days.

I picked up my Mom at the airport and drove her back to our place where Liam was waiting. She cried for joy no less than three times on the drive to the house, then a few times afterward. It is pretty clear that she is going spoil Liam rotten. She went on and on about how cute he was, and cried when she held him for the first time. She has been a great help already. Last night she took care of him for 4 hours while Jen and I got some sleep. I sleep until noon today, trying to recover from a week of panic attacks and sleeping on hospital couches. I am so glad we have such a caring support system to help us take care of our new little guy.

Below are some more pictures of the last couple days, some are at the hospital and some are at home, but all are equal in portraying how much cuter our baby is than any competition he might face. Contracts with Gerber are pending, but we are open to any company for negotiation. Have your people talk to my people.
