Claire Nicole is now 2 weeks old. We gave her the middle name Nicole after her aunt Krista Nicole. I love having a baby girl. And I love having a smaller baby. I felt like with Emmett I never really got that little newborn since he went straight into 0-3 month clothes instead of into newborn clothes. She's so sweet and a really good baby. I'm feeling a lot better too. The first 10 days after a C-section are the worst part, but every day past that gets easier. My mom has been here since the day before Claire was born and has been a life saver. I'll be sad to see her go this weekend. I seriously couldn't do it without her. One baby is pretty easy, but when you have a toddler too, thats another story. Especially when said toddler has mastered the art of tantrum throwing ever since we brought Claire home, and also tends to wake up at 7:30 in the morning. To have my mom up to feed him breakfast and let me sleep in has saved me. He is very sweet to Claire, but is having a hard time adjusting to Mom and Dad's attention being taken away. He's getting better though and hopefully this will turn a corner soon.
On our way to the hospital: 39 weeks, 4 days.
She loves to stretch her legs out. Which I believe is the reason why I was so much more uncomfortable with this pregnancy than I was with Emmett's.
A tired Dad with a sleeping Claire in his lap, who probably has a stressed out look in this picture because he just got done putting a screaming 2 year old to bed.
We tried to take a family pic and got only ONE good one. (Now located on my header) Here is an outtake. Poor Claire's headband is in her eye, and Emmett is trying to escape. Hahaa. I think the look in our eyes tells you we're not sure what we've gotten ourselves into yet!

Claire is adorable! I love all of the pictures. The end one is great to show how things are. That is fantastic that you got to have your mom there for so long. I'm so happy all turned out well. What a cute family!
oh congrats congrats! she is beautiful. little girls really are the best, they are so sweet.
Seriously, when you have your first one, you think this is hard. When it's your second, you realize how easy the first one was. Don't ask me about the third one... haha.
She is such a cutie.
It is crazy how they once fit in there, isn't it.
Good luck with the two kiddos!!
Even with the headband over the eye, and the look of a deer in the headlights, your family is so beautiful! I love your header Lisa. Tell your mom hi.

You guys have a beautiful family!! Claire is very cute!! I think she looks a little like Mike. Hopefully Emmett will adjust soon!
yea!! i love that we have the same middle name, it means i will most definitely be the favorite aunt! and it totally looks like you have a basketball in your shirt right before you went to the hospital! her legs are so teeny tiny! i cant wait to see her!!
So fun. I bet it is nice to have your mom at home. Good luck with having two. Be grateful that Emmett sleeps in until 7:30.
I've never seen a picture of the baby on the outside of the belly, trying to recapture that look!! Love it! I'm so happy things are going good for you!! Keep the pictures coming!
