While we were in Utah for Christmas we were able to bless Natalie. It was such a great day. She looked like an angel and didn't cry at all during the blessing! Cyrena cried all through hers. :) David's grandparents were able to come and it was so wonderful that Natalie's great-grandfather could be in the circle. Afterward David and I were able to express our feelings about Natalie. I was honest and said how hard it's been for me (especially the hormones) but how truly grateful I am for a Heavenly Father who hears and answers our prayers. David expressed similar sentiments about how much we wanted this baby, especially through the losses we experienced and that the Lord has a plan for each of us. Later, we celebrated Cyrena's birthday and had some yummy cake. She was spoiled of course, everyone did way too much. It was a special day.
