God answered our prayers and we met our healthy and perfect (I'm not biased at all) baby girl this morning! He also allowed me to go into labor on my own! I feel so blessed! I had a false alarm last night when I thought my water broke, so I was sent home from the hospital around midnight and was only 1 cm dilated. I was pretty disappointed, but my contractions really picked up in the night and I was back at the hospital a little after 7 am this morning and in some pretty good pain. I'm glad I got to the hospital when I did because I was 7 cm dilated at that point ....woohoo! It just so happens that we had the worst snow storm of the season last night and today...so I'm grateful we made it safely to the hospital too! Mike had school called off, which worked out perfectly for him. Everything just fell into place! :)Natalie Alison Moser was born at 9:38 am this morning and weighed 7 lbs 10 oz (smaller than expected ...which was another thing I was grateful for!). She is 21.5 inches long and has just a little bit of dark hair on her head. We love her already...such an amazing experience to get to have all over again! 
Benny loves her already too. It was really cute to see him interact with her. When they took her away to bathe her he said "Where are they going with my Natalie?" :)
More pictures to come...I'm sure! Thanks for your prayers!

Oh, poor Lucy. I just noticed she was ousted from your header! Ha. That made me laugh. My poor dogs have definitely taken a back seat. (We have a boxer like Lucy.)
Hope Natalie's second day is going smoothly. Can't wait for more pictures!
