Cheryl and I have decided that Matthias didn't look like a Matthias. We both said to each other that it felt forced, not natural. We also agreed that he looked a LOT more like a Xavier. :-) We decided to do something about this before the official paperwork was done and it was too late.

Our son shall now be known as, Xavier Matthias Kurt Roepcke. Sorry for the misstep, but better to fix this now than later, I think.

Cheryl and Xavier came home from the hospital last night. The night wasn't as bad as I expected, but Cheryl got a weird case of the chills in the middle of the night, reminiscent of the one brought on by the spinal in the recovery room after the C-Section.

I'll post more pictures and updates later. I'm actually posting this from an Internet terminal in the Juan de Fuca Library in Colwood. Cyan is at her "Story Time".

Seeing as I don't have a dedicated internet connection, I'm happy I'm using Conversant, a centralized CMS, to post this instead of a tool where I'd be bound to posting only from my desktop or laptop (which couldn't be connected to the Internet here in the library).

Nicholas Riley is 'da man'.

If you're using OS X you really want to get his ICeCoffEE input manager, which puts the Services menu in your right-click contextual menu when text is selected.

Oh my... Mozilla has implemented sheets on OS X. :-)

The lastest trunk builds are great. Last week's builds were so bad I went back to using IE for a while. :-/

Cyan has been really nervous lately, all this excitement is too much for her to handle. She had a bit of a meltdown tonight, so we stayed home and played games on pbskids.org and watched Snow White on DVD instead of making the trip to the hospital again where things are strange and anxious.

This afternoon we were at the hospital though. I gave Mattthias a bath, burped him a couple times, helped him sleep... he's a really strong boy -- he can already pretty much hold his head up on his own and look around!

Cyan gave him some water in a bottle, she thought that was great. As long as her sniffles don't develop into anything more ominous, we'll go back tomorrow to visit again...

In other great news, the Oilers beat the Maple Leafs 4-1 on Hockey Night in Canada tonight! Yay! :-)

Goodnight, all.
