SHES HERE!!!



Thats right! Hurricane NATALIE is here! Val went into labor Sunday night, around 8pm..while we were at our last Lamaze class! how funny, huh? That night we went to the hospital around 1:30. Val was dialated 3 cm. They wanted to send her home, but val wanted to wait one more hour. Sure enough, she started dilatating 1cm every hour! Next thing you know, we are admitted, val has an epideral, and WHAM, out come little Natalie! Did i say LITTLE??

Dauberts do nothing Little!


7lbs, 2 ounces! 18 inches long. Look out world, here comes NATALIE!

LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!! Vals doing great, recovering right now. We are going off of no sleep for over 18 hours, but holding strong. Natalie is in the NICU right now, getting antibotics...she will be in there for the next 48 hours..sigh...but better safe then sorry!

Heres our little BUDDA BABY!

My how God has blessed the Daubert family! What a beautiful granddaughter and Mom is too. What love radiates from Mom's face. We are so anxious to get down to Austin now and hold our new granddaughter. The 13 & 1/2 year wait was worth it. We envy Grandma Lilly to be there to join in the care and love of our Natalie. Mike and Val will be great parents and to think they just got their certification to be parents Sunday night. Guess Natalie waited that long so that she gets these two great parents! Our love to all three of you and we will be looking forward to more pictures and the time when we will be there to love all three of you. May God bless you all greatly and get you home as soon as possible so Natilie and sleep in her own beautiful nursery. All our love.... Grandma & Granpa Daubert (Great Grandma Ruth sends God's blessings to all three of you. She will be looking forward to seeing Natalie and her new parents at Christmas time.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Natalie!
Your Aunt and Uncle in Chicago are so very happy you finally joined the Daubert clan. We're ready to spoil you rotten every chance we get...that includes all the rights an privileges associated with being 'those relatives' who buy you the loudest and annoying toys and games at Christmas! We're glad you made an early arrival so that you could give mommy a rest for a while. It looked like you had quite the condo built in her tummy...plenty of room to boogie!

Our very best to your proud new parents...CONGRATULATIONS MIKE AND VAL!!! Enjoy your time together with family and we'll see you later this year.

All our love, Aunt Laurie & Uncle Ron

No surprise that she came a bit early! When we saw you in July we thought you'd burst soon!
Congratulations and love from Roger and Anne

Congradulations Little Brother,

Welcome to the world little Natalie. It was well worth the wait, you are a very beautiful little girl. It has been over 13 years since there was a baby in the Daubert clan. Our best wishes to you and Val and hope to see all three very soon. Take and send all the pictures you can, Mom and Daughter look like they are doing well. God has blessed you two very well and I hope he keeps on the blessings. Our prayers are with the three of you. Love you and I am very proud of you Lil Brother.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The princess has arrived - and with her own schedule! Val and Mike welcome to the newestest "most wonderful" chapter of your life! She is absolutely beautiful. I love the hair that I can see in the picture! She will be ready for ribbons and bows before you know it. Know that you 3 were in my thoughts all day on the 20th when I found out you were at the hospital. - I think you little one was ready to come out and play with all her "other" baby friends!

PLUS, now Natalie, Saddie, Miranda, Jullian and Abigail will all be in the same class at school! (Just like their mommy's!)

Can't wait to come visit!
Love,
Kelly, Rob & Abigail Harris
