Three weeks

Tomorrow (sunday) Liko is three weeks old. Wow. Three weird, hard, amazing weeks. Liko turns out to be a lively, agile baby who wants to drink as much as possible in a short time. He starts to look at us now (not sure what he sees, but at least he looks in the right direction...). And he already gained quite some weight.

Lunch at 'Lof der Zoetheid'

Grandma & grandpa

This weekend grandpa and grandma Markowski came to meet their new grandson. It was love at first sight :-)

Day 6

I guess Liko has a secret sponsor deal with some kind of detergent producer. What other reason could he possibly have to pee every time in the middle of the diaper changing process?! But okay, he is doing fine, everything works :-)
It still feels weird and unreal to have a new family member, but we wouldn't trade him for a million bucks.
We are not sure if big brother Kalle understands what's going on. I'm sure he feels that things have changed, somehow. It would be great to see some kind of interaction, but let's not rush things...
Went for awalk yesterday...well....TRIED to go for a walk... Liko didn't like his stroller, so we had to carry him. But even that wasn't what he wanted. We'll try again today.
The nights are okay-ish. At least Liko allows us to sleep approx. 3-4 hours in a row before he asks for the next meal.

Liko is doing really fine....he eats, pees, poops and sleeps. Just what he is supposed to do :-)

Check out the pictures we took to get an impression of Liko's first two days.

Day 1

I went to the hospital just to get my blood pressure checked.... and we came home a couple of hours later with a baby. Liko was born at 1:34 pm on sunday 31 july 2011, 9 days earlier than expected. The first thing he did (while he cried really loud) was pee. On me. Territorial behaviour, I guess.... Big brother Kalle slept in his stroller in the corner of the delivery room while Liko was born. 
Five hours after the birth the van Bijnen / Markowski family went home.
