Mommy could not have been happier!

Emmett and Hattie came to meet Felix shortly after his birth. They were so excited!

Dear Felix,

I knew you were going to be a big boy but I don't think I expected you to be as big as you were! Your delivery was perfect, none the less. I was so relieved to have you in my arms instead of in my womb. I will never forget that moment in which I was so happy to meet you and I also realized how much strain my body had been under carrying you. At five days overdue my doctor was able to get me in to be induced. I had hoped to go into labor naturally. However, that just didn't happen! Once my water was broken at about 1pm contractions soon began and you were born only 4 hours later.

My favorite doctor was able to deliver you as well. I couldn't have asked for a better delivery. You are perfect!

You look similar to your brother and sister with lots of dark hair. Your eyes remind me of Emmett's at this point and I think you take after my side of the family more. But, I know you are so young that you will be changing a lot. I'm not sure if your eyes are dark brown or a gray-blue. They look to be both depending on the lighting. Your hair curls at the ends when wet. I have a slight wave to my hair but we don't have a history of curly hair on either side of the family so we'll see if yours takes on more waves or becomes more straight as you grow up. We also think you have a small mouth like Mom's side of the family. So far we haven't noticed the distinctive pouty lip both of your siblings had at birth. But, you do have the sweetest dimples when you smile. :) You have long straight toes and long narrow feet. We are so excited that you are here and a part of our family, Felix. I just can't wait to see what you will be like as you grow up. But for now I am trying to enjoy every ounce of the new-ness of you! I'm loving your sweet baby snuggles as much as possible while trying to find some balance to our every day life now as a family of five. 

Love you with all my heart,

Mommy
