Wow! I'm a mother! So last Sunday I woke up feeling some contractions and wondering if they were the real deal. They were. I thought I'd be 2 weeks late, not 2 weeks early! By 4:00 pacing and bouncing on the birthing ball wasn't cutting it anymore, so Juan and I went to the hospital. I was dilated to a 6, and so they checked me in. I requested an epidural stat, and when that kicked in I was in heaven! I had my little girl at 11:02 p.m. Her name is Natalie Jane, and she was 7 pounds 3 ounces, and 19 1/2 inches long. Here is a picture of her the day she was born. Isn't she beautiful?

Here she is with uncle Tim who came to visit. He came home from his mission just in time to see her!

Here she is doing what she does best. Looking cute!
