Natalie was asleep with half her body wedged between the side rail and the bed. I had to get a very long strap to tie the foot end of the railing to the other side of the bed so she could not push it out and end up on the floor.

Busted!!!
Natalie had a blast emptying out this cupboard so I let her continue, but I had Rachel get the camera to record the mess for the record.

Natalie at four days
Natalie was 4 days old when this picture was taken. She looks so tan because she was jandiced. She spent a week under the lights before she was better. Natalie was born 6 days early, my only baby born at a PM hour. I had had a check-up that day and I was 5cm dialated, but not crampy at all so my midwife sent me home with instructions to call if anything started. Rachel went with my neighbor to dress rehersal for a play she was performing in over the weekend. The theater was only 3.5 miles from the hospital and my neighbor had agreed to bring Rachel down if I went into labor. I started contracting sometime around dinner and by 8:30, I decided to call my midwife. She said to come in and she'd be there by 9:30. I called our neighbor and she said that she could have Rachel at the birth center around 9:30 too. Rachel was supposed to be there to see Natalie born and cut the cord. Mallory was with us too, but she got the cut the cord when Bailey was born. I was 8cm when I got to the birth center and got checked around 9:45pm. Natalie was born after 5-6 pushed at 11:07pm. She weighed 9 lbs - 5 ozs and was 19.75" long. Everyone kept asking me if she was my biggest baby and I kept telling them that I had had three babies bigger than Natalie. Two of my girls were only 1 and 2 ozs bigger, but my son was 10.5 lbs. Natalie did not take to nursing and by the time she was 12 hrs old, I was pumping and feeding pumped milk to her. I never gave up and after 5 long weeks of around the clock pumping, Natalie finally starting latching on and within a week was nursing full-time. She is still nursing to this day.
Natalie is so smart!
Natalie knew exactly what the bottle were the bottle went. Joe wondered when she would try and lift her shirt to feed the baby.
