Many congratulations! Clara is absolutely gorgeous, and certainly looks like she would have a healthy set of lungs on her.

Thank you everyone! Clara's first night at home went really well. I was completely impressed with her. We all went to bed about 9pm, and I woke her up to feed her and change her twice (once at 11 and again at 3). We all woke up this morning at 7:30. Other than the times I woke her to feed her, she didn't budge. I wonder how long she would have slept had I not bothered her!

Her first full morning was nice and stimulating, so she is down for a nap in the big girl crib! She's all swaddled up and snoozing away. I really didn't expect her to do so well in her crib, but she's a champ. It's a little more difficult to put her there than in the co-sleeper, but not bad. We've put her in it a couple times, and this is the first time she's stayed asleep for more than five or ten minutes (it's been nearly 40 minutes!).

She is wonderful and is so alert! She watches everything and even held her head up completely on her own for about ten seconds this morning. She's spectacular and so interesting to be around. We all love her so much already. What a jewel!

Anyway, I'm off to rest a little while she's resting. So far, so good!

I'm in tears looking at those pictures. She is a precious doll, Kari. What a beautiful family. Make sure you're getting plenty of rest.

Awww, such a beautiful family. She is just adorable!! But I figured she would be.
Congrats and I hope you have many more good nights like last night. Oh, and more pictures won't hurt either. Just kidding.
