Welcome!

We've had such fun looking at our friends' baby websites, so we finally thought we'd create one of our own for little Natalie. We hope to update the site with pictures, anecdotes, and video (once she starts doing a little more than eating, pooping, and sleeping).

Natalie had a really smooth first two and a half weeks. Tyler and I were wondering - when does the crying phase start? Well, just when we got comfortable and thought "how did we get so lucky? Our baby doesn't cry", she decided that napping was for all those other babies out there, not for her, which has led to a whole bunch of issues. We're figuring it out day by day but are so in love with her that it doesn't scare us - TOO much...

Luckily we've had lots of out-of-town help. First to arrive when Natalie was five days old were my parents, "Grandfather" (a.k.a. Bubba) and Grandma Nancy. About an hour later, Tyler's mom Grandma Kathy arrived in town - sadly, Grandpa Geoff couldn't make it this time, but we can't wait for her to meet him during the next visit!

Then, when Natalie was one week old, Aunt Pam visited as well, providing much needed parenting advice as the mother of three.

And right now we have Aunt Amy in town, who is fifteen weeks pregnant, and we are glad that the tears and fussing aren't scaring her too much about what's in store for her when her baby arrives!
