At Home At Last

Today we could finally bring our little boy home.
We were both excited and my wife was all giddy on the ride home.

Well, there's not much to tell, really.
The little boy was busy sleeping pretty much all day long.
We occasionally had to wake him up in order to feed him.

My wife's mother came by to help us for a bit and on the way buy some things that we missed.
She also helped us out with our very first diaper change.
I hope we'll get the hang of it soon on our own :P

I'm currently rather worried from our first night on our own, but uh... we'll get the hang of it, I guess.
Everyone does eventually, no? :)

So, is this what it's going to be like? All of this worrying and nervousness?
We'll just have to give it a couple of more days to get a feel for it, I think.

[EDIT: The next day]

Our first night went by relatively easy.
My wife woke up a couple of times to feed him, but that was obviously expected.
I tried to convince her to use the pump so that I could feed him from the bottle and she could rest. But she refused. I suspect she may be addicted to breastfeeding him. Must be something with the hormones :)

Today we also scheduled an appointment with a doctor for the circumcision. It'll be this Sunday.
We'll be doing this with as few people as possible.
Most people in Israel perform the circumcision with Rabbis in Synagogues or at home, but more and more people choose professional doctors instead. It's usually more expensive but it's completely painless for the baby (unlike traditional circumcision).
If it was up to me, I'd forego the circumcision altogether, but my wife insisted, so... yeah.

I don't think I'm feeling "it" yet... The "fatherhood"? So far it feels more like a science project, like when they give you an egg and you need to take care of it for a while? Or like when they give you an eating and peeing doll to babysit? So I think that's what it feels like so far.
My wife thinks that it's because I'm not as active in taking care of him. After all, she's doing all the feeding and diaper changing. So far she still insists on doing it herself but I'm sure it's a matter of time before she'll demand that I'll be more active :)

P.S.
I would just like to point out, for the record...
That my baby junior sounds like a squeaky toy.
