2 years and almost an hour ago, Natalie Sapphira was born. At 6:37 pm after 3 1/2 hours or so of pushing, she was delivered breech with a vacuum. She was 5 pounds, 13 1/2 ounces and 21 inches long. I can remember how tiny she was. The first time I touched her she was on my stomach before Samuel cut the cord and I remember putting my hand on her tummy and I was able to wrap my fingers almost all the way around her...weird to think she was that small. We read her the story we read every night before we went to bed before she was born and she wiggled on my chest just like she did inside me. She held Daddy fingers, caressed my face, and looked into our eyes...she knew that we were her Mommy and Daddy and that we loved her. I don't think I will ever forget the way she fit so perfectly in my arms, or how I felt when she looked into my eyes. I love you Natalie...see you soon. xoxoxo Mommy

Welcome to our little cyber-spot! Our sweet family has been split in two...four of us walk together here on earth, while 3 of our sweet babies are snuggling with our Savior. Natalie was born on March 14 and met Jesus on March 16, 2006. Her little brother, Malachi, joined us in May 2007. Our second daughter, Sapphira arrived in April 2009. Our precious 4th child, whom we named Asher, met Jesus in Febuary 2011. Our 5th sweet baby, Azra, joined her siblings in Heaven in August 2011. Baby Amira is due to arrive in March 2013. A very patient dog and a cat round out our crew. Thanks for spending time with us!
