Peaceful rest

Posted on January 16, 2009 at 15:53:36 by chris

I'm currently sitting on a sofa, with 5 day old baby asleep on my chest, 2 year old asleep in his bed upstairs, and lovely wife asleep on the other sofa. The only noises are from the dishwasher and our noisy cat.

I feel very lucky! I realised this week that if we lived sometime in the past, or some other parts of the world now, the above-mentioned lovely wife likely wouldn't have survived the complication (retained placenta, with about 2 litres of blood loss). A scary thought, which after considering I shall try not to think about.
