Success!

It is my indescribable pleasure to announce to one and all the birth of our daughter. Her name is Leila Anne Choens. Mom hasn’t met her yet, but that will change soon enough.

Both Mom and Monkey are doing well. Today, I am the happiest man alive.

This is Leila on her very first birthday. At birth, she weighed four pounds, nine ounces. The mask is giving her a little positive pressure on her lungs as a precaution. Her blood-oxygen levels have been good, so they are not giving her any oxygen. Just air.
