One week ...

and everything had just gone by so quickly! Claire had her first doctor's visit on Tuesday. Dr. Owens pronounced her healthy and beautiful.(of course!) She has integrated into the family well. Both Bella and Bubba have been sweet to her, and haven't shown any jealousy or animosity.

My MIL, Mamaw, was here up until yesterday and made it so much easier to take care of our new little addition. She is a gem, helping with the older kids when I am busy with Claire and happily cuddling Claire when I need to hang with my other babies, not to mention the from-scratch pancakes and other wonderful culinary gifts. =P

Other than that, I am just exhausted!!!! I mean, I knew what was going to happen since I have been through this twice before, but man oh man! I still feel as if I have been hit by a mack truck, and then dragged forty miles or so ... very sore and very tired.

But she's so cute! and so loveable! I think we will keep her.

Here she is napping with Daddy.

Having her hearing test done.

Newborn pants?! I think not.

More napping with Daddy.
