Big news...

What's big, you ask? Claire is! We had our first doctor's appointment today, and she weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. That included the weight of her diaper, so she is probably a little below that, but she is in the neighborhood of her birth weight, which is very exciting. The doctor said that Claire was making good progress, and didn't have any concerns about her. She did ask if Claire was a breech baby because she always tries to curl her legs up, which is apparently common among breech babies. Every nurse who saw her for the first time asked the same thing...it is pretty funny. Check out the picture below for a demonstration.

There wasn't a lot of activity today...dad spent some time at work and mom tried to get some rest while the house cleaner paid us a much needed (and appreciated) visit. We did have a small flurry of visitors this evening as we were getting Claire ready for bed...their timing was quite perfect. Sumie and Aaron stopped by just to check out little Claire, and as they were leaving, Emily and Tigi were out for a walk and we invited them in. Vinnie was glad to see Tigi (for those who don't know, Tigi is a greyhound who lives around the corner). Tigi was pretty funny with her ears getting very perky every time Claire made a noise...we tried to capture a picture, but didn't have any luck. While our own pets have been oblivious to Claire, Tigi was most intrigued.

Sorry not to have more to report, but Claire is doing her job of eating and sleeping, which is all we can ask of her, even it is not terribly exciting. But she is still a little cutie, as the picture below clearly demonstrates!
