| Natalie all ready to go home |
Natalie Jennae Butler was born at 9:43 p.m. on Tuesday June 24, 2014. Other than a sluggish start to labor (I was induced at 9 a.m. and things finally got going only after the doctor upped the pitocin to 20--yikes! 8-12 is what they usually use) everything went very smoothly. I surprised the doctor by only pushing through 3 contractions before Natalie was here. Everyone always comments on how beautifully round my baby's heads are--I guess that's a result of how short a time I spend pushing. She has no jaundice (a first for us), and seems especially tiny since she is almost half a pound smaller than any of our other babies.
All of the children love Natalie, and constantly want to hold her. Claire is utterly enamored with her, and though she definitely want me more, doesn't seem to begrudge Natalie my attention. It is a little crazy at our house, between a new baby, remodeling the family bathroom, and Robert's new calling in our new branch, but we are extremely happy!! Much love from all of us!!!

Adorable!! Congratulations!! Looks like you are SO happy!
What...? A new branch? What calling does Robert have? Are you still RS president?
Natalie is a beautiful, healthy looking baby! Congratulations!
She's beautiful, Trina! Please give that little angel constant kisses from us and let her know who they're from. We can hardly wait to do it in person...but we'll have to be patient :)
Your newest little angel looks like a sweetie! I love her name, and did you know you spelled her middle name just like our Jennae? Maybe she will have beautiful red hair, too. All the best to your beautiful family!!
