Our Little Cupcake


To our delight and surprise our little girl arrived 4 days before her due date! Claire Louise came screaming into this world on June 30 at 2:53 pm. She weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 20 inches long! I was blessed with a speedy, easy and almost enjoyable labor (after the epidural) and delivery! She is healthy, happy and an incredibly sweet little lady.

Now, almost two weeks after her birth we are starting to feel a little settled in. We think we might be figuring out her cries and fusses and are becoming more aware of things she enjoys. She seems to love kicking around without her diaper and also going through at least 2-3 diapers per changing. She is very calm while she is cuddling with her daddy and is great at making grumpy faces (expressive brow line). We are constantly entertained by the way she moves her arms and where places her hands while she sleeps.

We feel more love for her every time we look at her and we can't wait to get to know her better with each day that passes.

Our new life is certainly different and harder than I imagined, but I also know it is going to be even so much better than I ever could dream.
