A wee update...

Well holy rising mercury is it HOT!! Day one of a heatwave here. Joy of joys. Thankfully Nick got the a/c units in yesterday, so at least things are comfy on the inside.

Liam is doing well, day 5 here. He's starting to get more of a handle on day vs. night, and is more alert during the day. He LOVES his new crib mobile that Nana bought him - which is great because it runs for 15 minutes and gives me nice little breaks to do what I want or need to do. The boys are still definitely getting used to having him around, Elliot is actually quite the doting big brother and self-proclaimed "diaper helper." He also has a little stool that he has pulled up next to the changing table and he loves to chat with me and Liam during diaper changes. Riley is playing it more cool- he's still fairly distant and just content to go about his own business. But, all in all they're doing well, and the requests (mainly from Elliot) to put Liam back in my tummy have waned a bit.

Sleep is still elusive here, which is obviously par for the course. It's strangely easier each time (in my experience), this sleep deprivation thing. Obviously I wouldn't do it by choice, but by now I've just gotten used to it I suppose, and I know it won't last forever. Both Riley and Elliot slept through the night by 7 weeks reliably, and I'm really hoping Liam follows suit.

Well, that's it for now, going to put my feet up for 5 minutes while Liam's mobile finishes. I'll update again soon, hopefully with some new photos.

Stay cool!

He is absolutely beautiful! We hope to see him in person some day. Keep those pictures coming!
Seven weeks, huh? Not bad. Acually, I guess Cole was at about 9 or 10. Hope he follows his brothers good example! :)
