3 hours

First night at home for Oskar.

First night for us without the hospital back up.

There was one feeding around 10-11pm and a bit of struggle to get him to sleep. But eventually my dad cracked it. By midnight everybody was in bed asleep. Yes, including parents and grand-parents.

2:45am we were back on.

Oskar woke up crying. 

I got up and started to prepare to feed him.

A bit later Wolfram joined us.

3am done with feeding. Wolfram is up for getting Oskar asleep.

And he tried.

Then I tried.

Then he tried again.

By 4am we decided to feed again as someone was wide awake. And that someone was not the new parents.

At 4:30am, we tried again to get him to sleep without success. 

At 4:45am we decided to go though the check-list again. We checked the diaper. Not much in there but some traces of what looked like blood to us. It was reddish. 

I woke up my mum for an expert opinion. She said she wasn't sure and it's most likely just the digestive system getting going.

We changed the diaper.

I sent Wolfram back to bed as he had to go to work in a few hours.

I stayed with my mum who helped walking with Oskar. I then tried feeding again. Followed by a burp. Followed by more walking and suddenly some gas came out.

A bit later he was finally asleep. It was 5:45am. This first night feeding took only 3 hours!!!

I was dead and I cannot imagine the morning.

Now let's all get some sleep before we have to start this all over.
