Try, Try Again
Where to start...
Fatherhood.
It's not the deal I thought it'd be.
I'm not really sure what I expected fatherhood to be like. As with so many things in this life there was no instruction manual to help you get ready for it, and the books that are written are too mom-centric for me to handle.
So I've winged it.
One of the funny things about my life is that the best things are often defined by how they don't suck. Like when I decided I wanted to marry Nena, I knew I wanted to marry her because I knew my worst days with her would be better than my best days without her. Same goes with Tico. Even the worst days, like the two ER visits and the subsequent hospital stays, are better than Tico-free good days.
Right now I'm spending a lot of time with Tico. My job's affording me a lot of telecommuting time so I'm able to hang out with him and learn who my kid is. By and large, he's an awesome guy.

Dude, Tico made *two* trips? What was the second? Is he okay now?
Glad you're writing again, by the way. :)
Yeah, trip one was right after he was born for the jaundice.
Trip two was the infection back in early April. Things are a'ight.
