Welcome Calix Matthias!





Calix was born on May 8, 2008 at 8:48 am via a scheduled C-section at Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo. He weighed 9.6 lbs and was 21 inches long at birth. Like his kuya, he is in perfect health and he brought with him tremendous joy.
I am currently recovering from complications on my C-section. My doctor referred to it as wound hematoma. In layman's terms, my incision hasn't closed because I had clots and the inside isn't healing as expected. With this, I have had to visit my OB daily to have her change the dressing. I have also been in pain since Day 1 though I refuse to take pain killers unless necessary because I am trying to breastfeed. This has been a traumatic post partum recovery and it made me seriously consider not having another one. My only consolation amidst all these is that I have another beautiful son whom I absolutely adore.
Belated Happy Mother's Day to all. Here's to the many sacrifices moms can endure for the sake of their beloved children.
Please include me in your prayers for a speedy recovery as well.

    Congratulations again Mickee! After all that's said and done, you have been truly blessed. I'll stop by Saturday morning to drop off something for Baby Calix ok? We won't stay (we're going away for the weekend) but I wanted to give it now before I forget (yet again!). We're heading up Friday night so I'll call you, ok? Take care.

    Mickee, congratulations to you and your husband for this gorgeous new addition to the family. Look after yourself and hope you are on your way to recovery soon. And yes, I couldnt agree with you more when you said about our true sacrifice for our children... our only consolation is that they grow up to be fine children and good in the eyes of God. You take care and our prayers are with you.
