A picture of the freshest little "pea" in my "family"!
Big sister, Bella, welcomed home her new baby brother yesterday! And, yippee! . . . he has a name!
Details, details:
Brodey Michael Durbin
born 2-20-07
8lbs 3oz

I'm excited to announce that Natalie had her baby one day before she was to be induced! Bella, her first, was only 5 lbs. This baby was 8 lbs 3 oz!! (Same as Maia!) Such a chunky monkey, but I know a really darn cute monkey! Mommy is doing great. Baby boy is doing great, too, nursing like a champ (unlike Bella - I swear it's a smaller baby thing when they don't latch on well from the start). Labor went really quick for Nat until his head got stuck (also just like Maia!). They had to use suction and so he is pretty bruised, but at least he did come out. She said if he hadn't came on the last push, they were going to have to do c-section. Thank goodness he decided to make the big plunge into Earth-dom on the final try!
Congrats Natalie, Shawn and Bella!
Oh, and by the way, baby D is a nameless little dude right now.
Nat just went to the doctor and has not progressed at all. She is scheduled to be induced on Wed the 21st. She is starting to go down the same road as Michelle, it appears! I just hope Nat does not have to be induced, either, and that Baby D decides to come on his own. Induction is so not fun. I know, I'm a professional when it comes to having Pitocin shot through my body. But I guess, like Nat said, he's wanting to stay away from the cold! I don't blame him there!
A couple preggie pics are below in my blog entry about Nat. Isn't she and baby Bella just gorgeous?!
Here's another one, too.
And more down yonder in her entry . . .
I talked to Nat a couple days ago. Still no baby. She has officially made it past her due date of February 11th! Baby D will probably be tiny anyhow, so it's good he stays in as long as possible, but come on already little guy, we want to meet you! I wonder if Nat will get the best gift of all today? He'd forever be her "Valentine", that's for certain. How fun, but I don't think she really wants to share his birthday with the big day of red, hearts and chocolate.
Just wanted to let you know, Nat, we're thinking of you!
