Announcing our new angel.... Natalie Marie

Natalie Marie Burke was born on October 15th at 10:25am. She weighed 6lb 9oz and was 20in long. She was welcomed by her parents, grandparents, aunt, and proud big brother.

Natalie arrived with low blood sugar so she had her first meal right away. Her poor little feet were pricked more than a few times to check her levels the first couple days. Thankfully the numbers were 'normal' in a short time. The blood tech was nice, but I was thankful when he didn't come to visit anymore!







Dawson has been Natalie's #1 fan and loving helper since he layed eyes on her. As much as I cringe at times wondering if his squeeze is too tight or seeing him really close to her face, I'm SO thankful for his love and care for her.

Dressed up to go home!....
Here she is, all pretty in pink, relaxing and minutes away from going home. She wore her new adorable hat from 'Auntie' Angie for the occasion.
