Oh, I feel a bit like a slave to my biology. Hours after posting about feeling like I needed to get ready for this bambina, she decided to arrive 5 weeks early. We were a little worried, but our yet-to-be-named babe is doing fantastic and we all love, love, love her. Here are a few snapshots:
This was my first natural childbirth. If you would like to hear what I think about that, ask me and I'll give ya an earful. We are grateful and full of joy to have our new bundle here safe and sound. Hope you get to meet her soon, she's really very great.

She is SO cute. I approve. And, yes, I would like to hear what you have to say about natural childbirth. Do birth drugs affect the baby?
I did NOT enjoy natural childbirth. And that is all I will say about that. For now.
She is so so so sweet! Wow. I don't want any more babies. Except for yours. Can I, huh? Huh?
What a cutie! :) She looks tiny, but seems SO alert and happy. Doesn't seem like a 5-week-early baby at all. She seems fully ready to be out in the big world with her sisters.
congrats! i always go early too and my third was natural despite my best efforts - took me an hour to stop screaming - really. congrats! i can't wait to hear the name, what a sweet face.
She is gorgeous! She doesn't look like a 5 week early baby. So alert :) I'm sure the girls are just LOVIN' her. Congrats!!
Congrats you guys! She is beautiful. LOVE all the dark hair. Hope everything is going well. Good thing you started nesting, so she can be oh so stylin'. Best wishes!
Congratulations! Sounds like she gave you a run for your money:) Glad she is healthy and VERY cute.
Wow, she is a beauty!!!! So little and so sweet! How wonderful that she was born so early and is doing so well! I'm anxious to hear the story and how it all went for ya. Oh, and your blog looks fantastic by the way.... if you get a minute can you tell me what the margins are? I've been wanting to change mine for a while.
Oh my, she is an angel. Seriously so perfect. What a great surprise! I am so glad that all is well. What a beautiful family you have.
Congrats! She is adorable! She looks great for being 5 weeks early! What a cute family
Isn't she amazing!? Wow, what a gorgeous little doll. Interesting that your nesting instinct kicked in and she joined your fam shortly after. She really does look older than a five week early babe. What did she weigh? Can't wait to hear about her lovely name and more details!!
Hope you are doing well and thanks for posting so shortly after.
She really is lovely! Congratulations! Looking forward to details...
She's beautiful. Glad she's healthy. Congrats! No wonder that nesting instinct was kicking in!
she is beautiful. congratulations.
I wish I could have jumped on the plane with Mom. She's perfect-love her already!
Cute, cute, cute!
My vote is you keep her.
Beautiful! And what a surprise. It is nice to know someone else who is going through newborn baby days with me. I'm only 8 or 9 days ahead of you with my third. How are the sibs adjusting? We should chat.
Holy cow! That is huge (well, she's not, but the news of her coming early is)! I'm glad everyone is well. Congrats on another beautiful girl and way to go on natural child birth. I would love to hear your thoughts!
I can't believe how great she is! That turned up nose. That alert little personality. A SMILE?!? Those eyes!! We must meet her soon!!
Yep, so sweet! It's great that you got pics with her eyes open, and even a little grin. hee hee! Want to hold her. It makes me laugh to look at Charlie and think how he would totally smoosh her. Smoosh her with love, that is. Congrats! Great to talk to you. I'm so glad Michelle is there. I wish I could be.
OH congratulations!! It makes me that much more excited for our little girl to get here...and I didn't think that was possible :) And yes, I would like an 'earfull' on the natural birth...since that's the route we're going :)
Way to go on the natural birth! That is amazing. Not to mention how sweet she looks, congratulations!
We love you and thank you for another beautiful grandchild. She is so perfectly beautiful. Give Malan and Jane a big hug for Gma
So exciting! She is a beautiful, lucky baby!!! Congratulations! My third was natural too, I would love to know what you thought! How are you?
She's gorgeous...and i want to hear everything!
Oh Kate. You must be so happy. She is perfect. I'm excited to hear what you name her. I think about you all the time and just think - WOW!! Kate had her baby! She is now a mother of three little girlies. I'm sorry btw that we called you so soon after having her. We didn't realize HOW soon it was. I hope you are mending well. I CAN'T believe you did it natural. You are such a toughy. We love you so much and love your whole family of FIVE!! Oh, is anyone coming to help you?
Hey Kate!
Its me kim walser (now harada)
Do you remember me?
I was just going to say hi to you on facebook and I saw your link to your blog. So I thought I would pop on over here to say hi, and what a day to check your blog for the first time to hear of your new arrival! Congrats to you on girl #3....How fun! I just had boy #3 a few months ago..SO I know the craziness you must be feeling about now. =)
I hope you dont mind but now I am going to be a blog follower of yours =)
Glad to see your doing so well. I hope you can get SOME rest...
Oh, and did you go natural by choice or what? Lets here all about it! You brave woman!!
Congratulations!! 5 weeks early? Wow! I'm glad everything was good. She must have just been ready to come. congratulations again.
I love her, she is so beautiful! What a lovely surprise, I'm glad everything went well. It looks like her sisters think she's pretty neat.
She's adorable. 5 weeks early -- she likes to make an entrance, huh? Have you guys decided on a name?
Oh my goodness, she is the cutest littliest thing ever!! I can't believe you went 5 weeks early too!! I so hope that that will possibly happen with me. Well, just come earlier than later that is. I definitely think you need to share the birth story as well.
Oh, she is perfect! What a beautiful little baby she is! How big is the tiny little early thing? Give us all the details. Congratulations!
Congrats! I'm glad everything is ok. I started thinking about you last night and this morning and was getting ready to call you, and decided to check your latest on the blog first...glad I did. I'll spare you the call so you can have time with your cute fam.
She is darling and we can't wait to meet her! I hope you are doing well and that you are able to have some good help!
Oh Kate! She is gorgeous!!! Congratulations!!!
Thanks for the help on my blog... As Edith told me once (and I really don't know why) "My blog wants to be your blog when it grows up" :)
Natural childbirth??? I just have a zipper! I am glad everything is going well. She is beautiful, so tender and precious. You are amazing.
oh congratulations!!!! she's adorable! can't wait to hear what you decide to name her.
Regarding natural childbirth, in the words of Gordon B. Hinckley: "I don't recommend it to anyone."

Katie, you have such beautiful girls. Your new little one is so precious. I'm so happy all went well with the birth. Well, that you're still surviving after doing it naturally! You're one tough chica! Thanks for always commenting on my blog, Kate. Your comments mean more than you know.
I wondered across your blog and I just wanted to say your little girl is adorable! Congrats to you and your family!
