Beginner Gardening: New Sod, first time new home owner needs help!, 1 by EmJayWood

I live in Bellevue, Nebraska and need help!! Yesterday we got new Sod laid on our large corner lot. I bought spigot splitters (one 4 way and one 2 way) and 6 hoses (2 100 feet and 4 50 feet) and 6 sprinklers (3 metal gilmore spiked fully oscilating, 2 plastic gilmore on bases, and one of the type kids like to run thru.) I have two problems/ questions. I was told to water all day yesterday and while i had to go to work, i still came home twice, about every 3 hours, to move the sprinklers, but I can't seem to cover all the areas that need watering. I wish i could go up on the roof and take a birds eye photo or 2 to show the areas, but i don't think that is possible. Is there a way to get more water pressure to all those hoses? It seems that the ones farthest away from the spigot don't have enough "Umph" to get the water to the far corner of the yard!
And my second questions is, It rained last night, the ground is saturated, the un-sodded lot next door is just mud. The high for today is only in the low 80's and the sod is all squishy and the hilly area in the back yard is looking like it could slid down if it is walked on! So! When do i brave the squishy lawn to attach more hose, move sprinklers and water again? Should I wait for it to dry out some? How do i come up with a watering schedule so i don't over water? I have had conflicting reports, even from the guys who laid the sod!
This is all very new to me, i have never had a sodded lawn before. When we bought the house, we decided to spend our $ on finishing the rec room in the basement over having underground sprinklers installed and now i wish i had given it more thought, seeing as this is a corner lot, it is shaping up to be lots of work! My Realtor said "Oh, just move the sprinklers a few times here and there, it won't be a that big deal." But it is a big deal to me now! Help?
