Dear Mom,
I'm glad you liked the card and the picture. Our little Natalie is three weeks old and doing great! She has nice thick black hair just like her mother and is probably going to look just like her. Cleo had a very smooth pregnancy, so we figured labor and delivery would be a snap. Boy, were we ever wrong! She was in labor for almost 30 hours and exhausted by the time it was over, but as soon as she saw the baby she looked like she could have gone back and done it all over again right then and there if she had to. In your last letter, you asked about her name. Well, when we were deciding what to name her, Cleo was very adamant about naming her after her aunt Natalie, and I wanted to call her Indiana Rebecca (Rebecca after Grandma, of course). We ran the names by a few of our friends and they all said one thing: "Indiana Jones." I figured that if I survived being named Merlin our daughter could deal with Indiana, but Cleo insisted that she have a "normal" first name (she still harbors some resentment in that area). So I gave in and agreed to make Natalie the first name. Oddly enough, once she was actually born, Cleo took to calling her Indy right away.
We look forward to seeing you the next time you come visit. We still have the fold-out cot in the guestroom-turned-nursery, which is available since Indy is still sleeping with us.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Love,
Merlin, Cleo, and Natalie
