Ten Years Ago Today...

Today is Natalie's 10th birthday. She was born at 11:17 P.M. on April 22, 1999. That was her due date. She weighed in at 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. Born completely naturally after nearly 2 hours of pushing. The nurse exclaimed, "It's a Boy!" I never found out what her sex was beforehand, but I swore I was having a girl. I remember looking at the nurse like you've gotta be wrong lady and she quickly changed what she said by chuckling and saying, "Oh, that was the umbilical cord, it's a girl!" Okay, much better. I just wanted to take this time to say Happy Birthday to my 1st born. And let everyone know that I have written her a letter which is scheduled to post at 11:17 P.M. so it's exactly the date and time she came screaming into my life.
