More details...

From Clara is born

Four days later, we just keep falling more and more in love. This morning I lay in bed for an hour and a half with Clara sleeping on my chest, not able to bring myself to stop watching her and put her in the bassinet. Heather just this minute said out loud: "Why is she such an angel head? I LOVE her!"

So, things are good. With the help of Heather's mom and sister we've managed to catch up on sleep, and no longer feel like smiling zombies (A clue to my mental state when we arrived at home is the fact that I misspelled "announcing" in the title of the last post...)

I left out a few key items in the last post:

1. Heather was AMAZING during the labor and birth. She was so strong, patient, and focused, and I will forever be proud of and thankful for her.

2. Birth weight: 7 lbs, 9 oz.

3. Length: 20 1/4 inches.

4. Clara rhymes with "Berra" and "Sarah."


Here are a few more pictures of our little cioccolatino. Love to you all.

Congratulations you guys!! She is beautiful! 7lbs 9oz is the exact same weight that Carter was when he was born. They were meant to be together!
