Multi tasking, my new way of life

I'm a simple guy, laid back, potentially lazy by nature. This whole responsibility, maturity thing totally sucks. I'd certainly be in favor of going back in time to when I sat around all afternoon and watched cartoons and maybe went and played soccer or rode my bike, if I felt like it. You know, where ever the wind took me. Now my time is no longer my own, the to-do list never seems to shrink and I always feel like I'm double booked...and Thomas isn't even home yet. I mention all this in a thinly veiled attempt to draw pity and to let you know that I'm writing this blog in the NICU while Rebecca holds Thomas. Multi tasking is the norm for me these days, but to be honest, I still ride my bike and play soccer a good bit, not to mention swim, volleyball and run. I'd still gladly accept any pity you'd like to cast my way.

Thomas is still in recovery mode from surgery. They finally got him extubated yesterday and he's on nasal canula, maybe til tomorrow. He's back in his crib and wearing clothes again (sorry ladies, the gun show is over). And they've started feeding him through the tube. He'd lost a little weight, so he's just under 6 pounds.

Rebecca is holding Thomas right now, for the first time since Tuesday. She's fully recovered from her cold and appears to be very happy. Thomas appears to be passed out. He's been asleep most of the day after having been awake most of yesterday. Sleep patterns have not exactly been established.

We've almost completed the nursery, a few more hand prints still need to be painted, so please get your traces in if you haven't yet. If we can find a camera, we'll send pictures of the finished product.
