:D Sounds :D like Clara is happy and healthy.
Babies that are weak don't have the energy to break the sound barrier like your little darling. :)
I'm so happy for you guys. Get some rest while you can.

Kari you are so beautiful in that last picture! You look so serene.
I love the picture with your mom and dad!
Clara's relaxed face is not mean mommy!!! She's a real beauty!
Thanks, Carmen! It was a wonderful morning, not too warm! I did feel very relaxed and I love that you see that in the photo!
Here's Clara from this evening! The light was really nice for these photos.

Leos rock. Period. One of my favorite signs. Clara is on the cusp of Virgo (love them too). Kari, you and Dave look terrific! You all look so relaxed and calm..like pros!!!! I love newborns 'cause they fit between your hand and elbow and I hate it that they grow up so fast! I LOVED the photos you took of Clara, and the one with Finn on his big red chair, next to Clara is priceless! Now we know what he was doing when you took his picture on another thread. He was Clara Watching. A very serious, important job you know!
Thanks for the compliments, everyone! We aren't always that calm, but we haven't really gotten too frustrated, yet, either. I did have a couple nights where I had to put her down in her crib and leave the room for a minute or two. Not because I was mad, just emotional! We tweaked her feeding schedule on Wednesday, and I think that messed with her, so we are back to doing it the way we had been since day one, and last night was great, like the first nights were. I try not to let her nap for more than two hours at a time during the day so that she will sleep better at night, and last night was great because of it. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it wasn't just a fluke! ;)
We took her to the zoo today. She slept mostly, but I did wake her up a couple times to nurse her. Today didn't even get in the 90s, so it was the perfect day. She never got too warm in her stroller, and the Fort Worth Zoo is almost completely under shade so the little blanket over the stroller was plenty to keep her skin safe! It was nice to go and walk around, and today's been my first virtually pain free day! I have felt great for the most part, but getting in and out of bed was still a little uncomfortable. And, today was the first day that it didn't hurt! YAY!
I met with my lactation consultant yesterday, and she has a scale there to weigh the babies. Clara weighed 8lbs 3oz with a diaper and a onesie on. So, she's gained another five ounces or so since Wednesday. I have Super Milk apparently. ;) At least I know I'm producing enough and she's eating enough!
My appointment is on Thursday and Clara's is on Friday, I'll be sure to update you all!
Kari she's so darling :) Again, congrats! You made a beautiful little person :) You're looking amazing! Hey, we plan on going to the Fort Worth Zoo again soon (we were there a couple weeks ago), maybe we could meet up there sometime?
oh yes we are...lolQuote:
