Here's Looking at you Kid

Tracy called me from the hospital last night and said "my dinner has
eyes". An emergency shipment of meatloaf and mashed potatoes was
arranged.

First Meeting

The boys had their first meeting today. Sean did great!

Nurses

The nurses here are very attentive/acrobatic. She wanted to help Tracy out so she kicked off her slippers and jumped right up on the bed. The dismount was amazing.

Jackson Sleeping

A picture of Jackson sleeping in his Tupperware tonight.

Melor

To add to the excitement this week we have a Typhoon rolling through our
area overnight. Typhoon Melor will probably hit us about 6 AM on
Thursday, although the bad weather has already started. Its raining
pretty good right now at 6 PM.

Tracy, Gaye, and Jackson will stay at the hospital. Pat, Sean, and Riley
will be at the apartment. I don't like us being separated but it was
impossible to get us all in one location.

I don't think it will be much more than some wind and rain, but who
knows. One news report I read said "Typhoon Melor may be the most
powerful storm to hit Japan's main islands in more than 10 years if it
makes landfall...".

Wish us luck.

Good Morning Jackson

Update

We haven't been doing nearly as much posting to the Blog with this
child. I think Facebook has taken over as the communication channel of
choice! We are now within one hour of the birth of number two. Tracy is
doing great, and the experience has been very positive to far. We will
have many stories to tell this little guy. Wish us luck!
