On Dec 9th, we welcomed little Felix into the world. Felix's arrival was so unlikely on so many levels that I'm still in a state of happy shock, 2 months after his birth.
I had a complication-free c-section. No blood transfusions, no ICU. No anemia. 8 units of specially ordered blood sat unused in the blood bank. And despite having surgery, this was my shortest hospital stay.
And Felix--mellow, healthy, happy. No jaundice, so no bili-bed.
We thought for a long time we would be three. Then three became four, and now, unbelievably, we are five. Felix means "happy" and "fortunate" -- an apt description for our family.
