Juice Jugs

When I came home from the hospital I was nursing Claire and Libby was wondering what was going on.  She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was feeding the baby.

"Mom, she eats from your boobs, that's disgusting!"

Later that day I was nursing again and Libby was studying the situation again.

"Mom, you got juice or milk in those things????"

I assured her it was special milk just for babies.  She is quite the character and that was one moment we don't want to forget.

Claire

September 14, 2011

6 lbs. 3 oz.

19 1/2 inches

She's here, and a little early.  Claire decided to come quickly.  I woke up on Wednesday morning about 3 am with contractions.  Got some housework done and left for the hospital about 7 am.  We checked in at the hospital and 7:35 am and Claire was born at 8:29 am.  It was a whirlwind birth, but a good one and we're glad she's here.

1 week old

It's been a bittersweet week.  Mostly sweet, but I find myself missing Graham, and the time we didn't get to have with him.  I've sat all week and held Claire.  I can't quite bear to put her down right now.  She is so sweet and she's helping to heal our empty arms and broken hearts.

I found this video this morning. It's a great reminder as to why we have trials on Earth.

I found this scripture on Pinterest this week and it fits perfectly with this video

What if your blessings come in raindrops? What if your healing comines through tears? What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you're near? What if trials in this life are your mercies in disguise? --1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
