First shots

Clare had her first shot today (Friday). She cried, it was almost hard
to watch :(

She is now 16 days old, 22 inches long and weighs 9 pounds even.

Happy Thanksgiving

My first holiday!

First bath

Yes we have washed her before, but this was her first official bath.
Squeeky clean!

A fresh picture

She is so cute!

She is great!

Hard to believe that Clare has been home for a week now. After the three days in NICU she was more than ready. She has been great. So far she only wakes up once or twice a night for feeding(s) and on Thursday night she slept through the night!

I will post some pictures tomorrow but I wanted to at least let all of her fans know that she is well and wonderful.

See her eyes

This was taken at her feeding at 1130am this morning.

Still in ICU, but sugars are coming in line. Might be out of ICU
today.

Clare and Mom are well

Everyone is well here. Clare is still in the nursery, waiting for her
sugars to stabalize. This is normal for "larger" babies from diabetic
moms. Karen is resting and will be in the hospital for three nights.

Here is the last picture I took. Another update tomorrow morning.

CLARE

Here she is. Born at 1:21PM. 8 pounds 7 ounces. 21 inches long.

Not much longer

All is good :)

All smiles

We can not wait!

Arrived at the hospital

We are here now checking in. About two hours before procedure.

Baby Clare due Tomorrow

Yes, Clare should be with us tomorrow afternoon. Karen is having a scheduled C-Section in the early part of the afternoon.

Today Karen, Jane and myself worked around the house trying to get everything ready. But the best part is...we now have POWER!!! After 16 days the lights and everything else came back on.

Tomorrow I will post as we get closer to delivery and pictures will be posted as quickly as I can. Please stay tuned!!

Good night,
Howard
