Cute Baby Pictures

Natalie Joy Robbins

Cute baby girl born this morning at 8:48 am. 20 in. 7 lbs 12 oz. Mom and baby are doing well. We'll post some pics later.

When is my due date?

The fact that it is next week is not really the point. Out of all of the children I have delivered so far, Nikki was the latest. So, if we were repeating her birth I would have already had her this morning. I don't know why this baby is so comfortable where she is -- I'm not! I totally set myself up for this. It just goes right along with just about every other parenting issue I have ever dealt with. When I think I know what I'm doing, my children never fail to prove me wrong! I think I might wear a sign to church tomorrow that says something like, "Obviously I haven't had this baby yet, so don't talk to me."

Clearly, I need to focus on some blessings: I actually do feel well, all awkward hugeness considered. There don't appear to be any complications with the baby so far. By the time I do get some consistent contractions I'm going to be really grateful for the pain. If I can't have a baby I figure I can at least eat what I want, so I'm going to go pick up some Chinese for lunch right now. Maybe I'll get a bucket of ice cream for dessert.
