Claire



Many of you have asked, "How is Claire sleeping for you?" Well, take a look at the above picture and this is how we see Claire most of the day. She only has about three or four times per day when she opens her bright blue eyes to let us have a peek. When she is awake, she is extremely alert. In fact, she is already following our hands as they move, and she caught her first glimpse of the ceiling fan the other day, which she absolutely loves now.

I have only been waking up with her once at night, usually between 4-5:30. She now has consistently been giving me five to six hour stretches for the past four nights:-) I almost hesitate to write because who knows if that will stick, or if she will be another every three hour gal again. I will keep you posted:-)

T he boys are away for the week in SC. Between our two sets of parents who both live in SC, they will be entertained for the week:-) It has been nice to have some alone time with Claire. Not only have I been able to rest when she does, but I have also been able to get things ready for her in the house.

Claire is great! Before we knew what we were having, I said that the sex didn't matter to me, but now that we have a sweet girl, I wouldn't trade her for any number of boys! Not only is she way more fun to shop for, but I am really looking forward to watching her grow into a toddler, then a child, then a teenager, and finally, a woman. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her life!

Very sweet! Thanks for posting pictures. When she does open her eyes you'll have to post some more of those pictures:)

Love,

I'm so glad she's sleeping well for you! It's always nice to have a baby like that! I'm sure boys are an incredible blessings as well, but there's just something special about a little girl. :) She will have SO many sweet moments with Jordan that will just make your heart melt.
