Well, today is Natalie's due date, BUT she came into the world 3 days early! :)
Natalie Michelle Yandle was born on Wednesday, July 9th, at 3:05am! Yes.... A M!
My labor started at approximately 1:45am on July 8th. My contractions only got to about 10 minutes apart and were bearable but I called the doctor and they asked me to come in early that afternoon. I went in at 2pm and I was 4cm and almost completely effaced and my blood pressure was up a little, so they decided to admit me to the hospital. I was admitted at 4:00pm on Tuesday and was fine up until I got a horrifying contraction so they hooked me up with my epidural. AHHHH... :) I was SO exhausted by the time she was born, which was basically 25 hours of labor on hardly any sleep and being that Natalie and I were struggling to get her out it was difficult on me. When she finally started to crown, I put everything I had into it and out she finally came! :) TMI for some of you I know ;-) but I am so happy that she is healthy and came out SO beautiful. Everyone thought she was so gorgeous and I was happy she didn't look like a lizard :)
She and I are recovering well thanks to Daddy's help! He has been my rock and support throughout it all and I couldn't have done it without him. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing husband. :) He is so in love with his little girl and we feel so complete having her in our lives.
Our "fur babies" are adjusting well and are very inquisitive. But they are being very sweet so far :)
Natalie, you are the LOVE of our lives and we are over the moon with happiness about your arrival. You are such a wonderful baby and I can't wait to watch you grow and learn and see who you become. Daddy and I love you more than you know, but we will make sure to show you that love every day of your life!!
