Baby Natalie is Here!

Dear Mommies,

It has been nearly four weeks since my last confession.... My last blog was Friday, September 21, when I announced that after our little scare, our baby was growing and thriving in my tummy.... It turns out that the baby wanted out! The very next day, my water broke and labor began. It happened on the couch while watching "Bubble Guppies" with Emily, and while my husband was at a golf fund raiser for his football program. I will share the entire store soon! 

Natalie Rose was born on Saturday, September 22 at 9:55pm via C Section. She was 6lbs. 1oz. and 19 and 1/4 inches long. She is small but nearly perfect and beautiful! She is doing really well and I am slowly starting to feel human again!  Natalie is nearly four weeks old now and I am ready to continue my blog. I really wasn't functioning very well except for basic survival until last week and this week I am ready to take on more. I will try to continue my blog now, since I really do enjoy sharing my thoughts with, well whomever, about being a mom and what I have learned.

The C Section was a rough recovery and I am still not 100%!  Baby Natalie is very healthy and happy and thriving with her big big blue eyes and that is the important thing! Emily (our three-year-old) loves her baby sister and is very sweet and gentle with her. I just wish she was sweet and gentle with mommy too! It has been interesting but wonderful and I will share all about it in good time! 

In coming blogs, I will share new words of wisdom about new borns, three-year-olds, breast feeding and the like! Feel free to comment if you have a request of something you want to know about!
