Clair's homecoming

Just over 48 hours after she was born, we brought Clair home. Mommy and daddy were both thankful to leave the hospital with our precious baby girl in tow. Baby and mommy were both considered to be doing pretty well. So we had come home early with the expectation mommy and Claire would pretty much rest in mommy's room for the next few days. That's about how it's gone.

Ellie and Max were both happy to have us all at home. They love to come in and visit us. Mommy has been so relaxed since we got home. Claire is learning about life at home, and seems more relaxed here as well too. She hasn't lost anymore weight since we left the hospital which is another great milestone that I haven't been able to achieve with my other children.

The big kids rely on granny for a lot around the house right now. We are thankful to have her here helping take care of everyone. David has also been home all week, and I am very grateful for that. He is taking extra great care of me. I appreciate his support and willingness to deal with my high demands and needs. It's hard because I'm not supposed to do stairs, so I'm upstairs most of the time and she brings me lots of stuff. I'm trying to rest as much as I can. I feel like I'm doing a bit better than I remember feeling with Max. Claire is pretty good sleeper if I just let her sleep beside me. That seems to be what settling into. She is my last baby, and I know that for sure. That is sad, and it makes me want to appreciate the special moments even more. She could end up a bit spoiled because of this!
