To Everyone's Suprise

One moment Jack and I are heading to the airport to start the first leg of our trip to Italy, the next moment we are at the hospital and Baby Thomas Manion (middle name to be decided later) is trying to catch the flight as well.

He was not about to sit idly by and miss a good party-- we told him that his Aunt Maureen and soon-to-be Uncle Enrico throw a great one. Have glass of juice and wine for Jack and I, respectively. We wish we were there.

The facts:
  • Born 10/8/2007
  • Weight 5 lb. 3 oz.
  • Length 18"
Tommy's arrival was considerably earlier than we expected. He is healthy and stable but is having oxygen delivered by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAC is being administered by the apparatus attached to his nose. This will be required for a couple of days and is not nearly as scary as it appears.

Madden is recovering and comfortable.

Notice Tommy's eyes are open and he is looking at his mother in the first photograph.
