Yes, We Are Alive!

I know that many of you have been checking our blog, probably almost weekly (HAHAHA), hoping for updates and new posts. Well, I have to admit that since we got back from China, I figured there wasn't anything nearly as exciting as that to report about, so I let it go by the wayside. That is until now...

We had our baby girl on Wednesday, March 25, 2009! Natalie Bennett arrived at 5:24pm, weighing in at 6lbs 11oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Eric and I were both surprised to see a head full of dark hair! She's been absolutely perfect. She's so tiny, we only have 3 outfits that fit her, and at night we have to dress her in some preemie sleepers we had from Logan, even though they are blue and have trucks and buses on them! She's finally starting to gain some weight and as much as I would like her to stay tiny forever, I'm excited for her to put on a couple more pounds so I can start dressing her in all the cute clothes I've been given.

We only stayed in the hospital one night; we were anxious to come home and be with our Logan and start adjusting him to his new way of life. We are so happy to see how well he's done. He absolutely loves her. He's always very concerned about her, where she is, why she's crying, and checks in on her often when she's sleeping. That's not to say he's tested us as his parents, but at least he loves his "Madaee".

Natalie had her first bath on Thursday, April 2...we were hurrying to get done so we could watch the series finale of ER. :) She LOVED it and didn't even make a whimper. She's going to be just like her brother who loves to take his tubbie daily, and would do it more often if we let him.

Finally, I had to post this adorable picture of Logan. We knew that eventually he would have to fill his dad's shoes and take over the Star Wars tradition, but who knew it would be this soon? He even knows and sings the theme song...heaven help me now! :) Maybe it will be good to have some girl & pink influence in our home!
