So finally after nine months of waiting, we got to meet our little precious bundle of joy. We are pleased to introduce to you Natalie Joyce Paetkau. She was born on November 15 at 9:33 pm! Weighing in at 8 lbs 8 ozs and measuring 21.5 in long, she really wasn't a small baby. Things didn't quite go as planned and we had to make the decision to have a c-section. The labor part went very quickly but it was extremely hard. Ideally, I did not want to have any pain medication but I had very intense back labor and after a few hours of no break in pain, I asked for an epidural. This brought the relief I needed and helped me to store some energy! After many hours of pushing, we decided that it would be best for baby and for myself that we not wait and deliver right away. But I can not complain because we have a happy healthy baby!!
We had our first Dr appointment today and Natalie has already passed the 9 lb mark! It is reassuring to know that she is eating good!
We are very thankful for this little blessing that God has given us.
Welcome to the world Natalie!
