The Pregnancy - not started yet
I was so excited when I found out I was pregnant! I took a test at work and when it
was positive I planned a special way to tell my husband. I bought a cute little outfit for
our new baby and when I got home I told David that I had a surprise for him. I gave
him the bag with the outfit and after he realized what I was trying to tell him, we both
cried. I really enjoyed being pregnant and experienced very little discomfort.
Throughout my whole pregnancy I could hardly wait to see my baby and hold her in
my arms.
The Labor - not started yet
Well, my contractions began March 21 and lasted until March 25. David was really
excited that the day had finally arrived, but I was in a lot of pain. We decided at 10 that
I better go to the hospital,
The Name
We had a boys name picked when the pregnancy first started but then we found out she might be a girl. So, we didn't know
what name would be good.
Fortunately, both our mothers help out and the mystery was solved. Mitzu's mom contributed Natalie which is somewhat
similar to Mitzu's grandmother "Natividad". So, that was great! And David's mom contributed her own name (of course)
which turned out to make a simply beautiful combination - "Natalie Claire".
Our Baby
Natalie Claire is such a beautiful baby girl! She has brought nothing but joy into our home since we brought her home. We
are very sleep deprived right now but she is totally worth it. My favourite times include watching David sing Natalie to sleep
and taking her out on small trips. Natalie is our little angel and we love her very much!
