Sisters

We were all so happy to see Claire yesterday. We have missed her so much during our time at the hospital. She came to visit yesterday morning and she was sure excited to meet Amelia. She kept asking for the baby. She was so sweet they did great together. We can already tell they will be good friendsIt was such a tender moment for us to have them meet.

Of course Claire was easily distracted by the many things going on. She of course wanted to return to her jumping spot. That also happened to be the same spot where the helicopter would fly by. She saw it once and couldn't stop asking for it again. I tried to explain that if the helicopter kept coming, that meant badness for someone. She didn't seem to understand. Plus, when the helicopter would land, she immediately wanted it to repeat the performance. "Do it again?"

Amelia Jane is doing pretty well, being on the early side of full-term, she has been very sleepy and has not been eating like the little piggy we would have hoped for. She has lost a little weight and her bilirubin is a little high. We are supposed to go home today, but we will have to wait to see what her next bilirubin level is. We really would like to go home.



How could you not want to go home when this little girl is waiting there? We miss you so much Claire. See you soon.

Could you ask for two sweeter girls? I'll answer that for you - No way. I have the two best in the world (three if you count Hill - she just isn't in the picture). Seriously what could bring more joy to a father?

Claire loved Amelia's hat and specifically her ribbon. She correctly pointed out her ears and her nose and her mouth and her cheeks. Nice job Claire.

I don't know how, but Amelia was able to bring the kitty cat piano along with her as a gift to Claire. Claire didn't seem to have any questions about the logistics, so we just kept silent.

What a beatutiful family. I count my blessings.

Nice job mom! You were amazing. What a beautiful Mother's Day gift.

Amelia's cousin Kinsley picked out the fabric and helped her mom make this beautiful blanket. What a sweet surprise. Amelia loves it and we love it. Thank you.

Sweet, sweet baby.

Sleep tight little one. We love you and promise to take good care of you.
