13 Days

Can you believe that Claire is 13 days old today!?! These first two weeks have gone by so quickly. She had her two week check up today and she is now 8lbs. 9oz. and 19 1/2 in. She also had to have her umbilical cord cauterized because it wasn't healing right and oozing puss, but she came through it just fine. We also had a little scare with her because when she was born the nurse told us that she had a "dimple" at the top of her butt crack. Apparently, when the spinal cord was developing, the skin got caught on the cord, and formed a bump or dimple and this can cause problems with her eventual walking. So we have been praying about this and the pediatrician looked at it today and said that there is nothing to worry about. It's too small to do any harm to her and she kicks her legs just fine, so that was a relief...We are still getting used to the fact that we now have three kids!! It seems so surreal, but we are adjusting really well. I would love to have more sleep at night, but this phase won't last forever. Lauren always asks for the baby every morning when she wakes up and Curtis just dotes on her. He is such a sweet little boy. God has definitely blessed us more than we could've imagined. I will try to post some more pictures later this week, I'm still trying to get a picture of the three kids together. Until then, have a great rest of the week.
