Claire Arrives

Yesterday afternoon, my beautiful and stubborn wife refused to admit that she was in labor until her contractions were seven minutes apart. Around 6:45 PM, she decided we should go to the hospital. (Something I'd suggested an hour and a half before). At 7:05, we dropped Isaac off at some friends' home (thanks Joe and Rochelle) and went to the hospital. At 7:45 PM, Claire Lucille was born. I have thoroughly enjoyed saying I told you so to Emily today. It's amazing how much less she intimidates me when she's not pregnant.

Claire was 7 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches long. Mother and baby are well. Isaac is very indifferent about Claire. I convinced him to be interested for almost a full 60 seconds before he decided to play with my cell phone some more. There are pictures of Claire and Isaac, as well as the house we're renting, in my photo albums.

For those who've asked, I hopefully will begin consistently posted pictures again. My laptop is out of commission and using Em's laptop is an annoying and painful process.

She is so cute and I can't wait till I can hold her and get sugar. I also love the house and the yard.

It looks like Claire is waving at us and saying "hi, glad to meet ya"! Em, I have to say I think Claire looks like you! She's so beautiful! Isaac (Iiabc) is so funny! I have to say though, he is starting to favor Justin more. Give Claire lots of hugs and kisses from grandma and grandpa.

Love y'all! Momma
