One Month Old!

I can't believe Natalie is one month old already! It reminds me how much I want to savor this time. Sometimes I think of all the things I'm not getting done, and then I'm reminded of the great opportunity I have to cherish this little life. It's amazing how someone so small can take up so much room in your heart. Hans and I are in awe of this little girl - whether it's seeing her smile, hearing her squeak (yes, she is quite a little noisemaker), watching her sleep - we love her.

First trip to the pool!

Natalie Jade

On July 25, 2009 at 1:59 AM we officially became the proud parents of Natalie Jade, a beautiful baby girl. I ended up having to have a c-section, which came as a bit of a shock. However, the important thing is that at the end we reached the same result - our baby! She weighed 7 lbs and was 21 inches long. She is such a bundle of joy and we fall more in love with her everyday. I am learning the ups and downs of motherhood, but must say I am so glad we chose this path at this time. It's so worth it! Here are a few pictures of my little sweet pea!
