Heavy Weight

I hope she doesn’t hate me some day for saying that :). After 3 days of trying to get this picture we finally succeeded. By the way, don’t try and make her do something she doesn’t want to do.

Claire Nicole

Is the name of this little beauty…







In the first picture she’s only about an hour old and the rest she’s 24 hours old. If you’ve called or emailed me without a response, this is the reason why. With labor starting on Thursday, but no baby until Saturday night (and only about 5 hours of sleep for me), plus a wedding 2 hours away (and barely making it back in time for the baby’s birth), I’ve been a little distracted :).

She’s the lovely product of my identical twin sister and her husband and I nearly cried when they told me her full name. Those are quite the cheeks, eh? 10 lbs 3 oz of adorable baby chub to love. She doesn’t even fit into the newborn clothes we have for her :). I’m sitting here in the hospital on a tiny little love seat to sleep on and I’m so so glad to be here. Welcome little girl!! You are so loved.

Ran across these today…from about forever ago. I suppose I forgot about them, but I loved some of these so much I wanted to share (plus it’s easy to blog when you suddenly come across several already edited pictures)!
