So can I begin by saying this baby is a dream child. She is such a blessing to our home and we couldn't be happier. She came home from the hospital pretty much sleeping through the night and has given me 7 hour streches the last 2 days. With the extra sleep at night I feel like a million bucks. She nurses really well something that hasn't always worked with my other kids. On top of that she is very calm and easy to sooth. With that said I know we are only a week in and that could all change when 3 weeks hits. The whole family is really just enjoying every minute. Here are a few photos from our first week.
Some photo shoot attemps as soon as we took out the camera she decided to stop sleeping and be wide awake and fussy. Something she never does since she is sleeping most of the time. My friend Emily came over and caught a few others between Claire's fussing. Check them out here.
I love a good photo of my kids crying. I think when they grow up I will want to remember that too.
Out cold in the pack in play. She loves to have her legs straight out. Something she did right from the start at the hospital. I find it hilarious because my ribs hurt so bad while I was pregnant I wonder what she was doing stretching out in my tummy. If I wrap her up to tight with her legs tucked she cries.
As a friend of mine did with her little guy. A picture in the chair once a month. Here is our first day home from the hospital picture.
She spends most her time snuggled in these aden and anis blankets that I absolutely love. Also I splurged on a new swing that is awesome she takes most of her naps there during the day.
Ronan really likes her. Here he is the first time he held her. He asks to hold her a couple times a day but then wants me to take her back 10 seconds later. That doesn't mean we aren't having an adjustment period with him. He is being a little stinker. Lets hope that stops in the next few days.
First bath I had a family of helpers. Leah my assistant and Davy the photographer.

Beautiful pictures Rachel! She is absolutely perfect. Can't wait to meet her!
Rachel..these pictures of Claire are GORGEOUS!!! I love them all but that one of her in the swaddler blanket with those CHEEKS is absolutely KILLING ME!!! She is beautiful. I can't believe how well she is sleeping at night. GO CLAIRE!
Oh I love the first picture!!! She looks so adorable all wrapped up with that sweet bow on her head. Perfect shot.
I clicked on all the pictures and I have no idea who she looks like! I thought Eva in one picture, then Ronan in another, but now I think you might have another original with a unique look from the other kids. It will be fun to see as she gets a bit older who she resembles the most.
Sienna also slept through the night last night! It hasn't happened in so long I think I need Claire to give her a lesson or two.
Precious-ness!!! She looks so sweet.
And I love your family photos from the February post. You all look fantastic.
