I noticed subtle requests for Heidi's pictures to be posted, on the family chat on Christmas Day. So here she is. I was going to do a "guess who" game out of it, but thought that would not be a good idea as I wouldn't be able to help you out with the answers. She looks just like all the other girls, so of course she is cute as a button. There is some more news by the way. (Bob, where are you? I need you to say NEWS NEWS NEWS!) Anyway, Natalia's kindergarten performance, that I briefly mentioned in connection with Heidi's birth, was a very pleasant surprise, and I now know why I had a feeling that I had to be there. All night, as I was in labor, all I could see was Natalia's disappointed face, trying to happily sing without her mother and father in the audience. For the first time in my life I pleaded with Heavenly Father that labor would stop. At least for a few hours. It did, and we all went to see her performance. Turns out she hadn't even mentioned to us that she had been given the lead solo of the show!!! She looked very nervous, but had a beautiful voice and brought a tear to many an eye (especially mine). Right as the children were dismissed I had a tremendous contraction and Sam and I proceeded to the hospital where Heidi was born just a few hours later. Exciting times in the Sam chapter of the Hiatt family!

I just love that story. How did Natalia keep it a secret? I am glad that in the next post you mention getting a recording of it on the blog. Amazing about the timing of your contractions. Heidi is a cutie, your whole family is beautiful. Congrats!
Jeanette,
Great story, I hope you have that in your journal. Natalia should know what a great mom she has.

That is an awesome story. I can't wait to get on a computer with speakers so I can hear it! Little Heidi is so cute she looks so much like your girls.
Thank you for all these beautiful pictures! I left a comment on the futile attempt, too. I have had problems posting today--the page keeps coming up blank, so I'll just suggest you go there for the rest of the comment.
Love,
Mom--Sister Hiatt
