Peter and the kids showed up for a little while to see Michael last night before going to their TaeKwon-Do class. Being a very hands-on dad, Peter volunteered to change Michael’s diaper and proceeded to get exploded on. Ten points for Michael!

Michael’s update:

• He’s still cute
• Around his feeding times he has been more wakeful
• He poops a lot
• He likes to nurse (he does NOT like the burping process)
• He likes warm water pored on his head

I was able to give him his first bath yesterday; it’s been a while since I’ve done that. He did not appreciate being sponged off and having some tape removed from the sides of his face, but he loved being snuggled in a blanket and having his hair rinsed off with warm water. After his sponge bath, I got him dressed and snuggled him up warm in a couple of blankets and got to sit and hold him for quite a while before needing to lay him down in the incubator. I’ll take these little moments of heaven!

Peter is holding up well with the kids. They seem to be doing well and keeping busy; Peter has been doing some fun science experiments with them and taking them to any available TaeDwon-Do classes to keep himself sane. We’re trying to arrange for someone to watch our kids on Sunday during the day so Peter can come spend a whole day with me at the NICU. We have hardly seen each other since Michael was born!
