At long last, Claire Allison is finally here! She arrived at 7:07 AM on April 23. She is 8 lbs 3 oz, and is 21.5 inches long. The girls came along to see the delivery and they were so excited and delighted to be the first to see Claire. They were full of questions and got the full tour of the facilities.
Stephanie is doing well, though she is tired and sore. She delivered Claire naturally, though this was not her intention. When labor finally kicked in (after 6 hours), it was too fast to get her an epidural. But everything worked out and now we have Claire.
She had a busy morning. Besides being born, she got the normal baby poking and prodding. She ate breakfast (she is really hungry!), got a bath, and took a nap. Now the older girls are napping and I think I need a nap too. We’re all going to visit Mom and Claire this afternoon, and it would be good not to be falling asleep driving to Middletown.

Congrats you guys! She is a doll.
