Claire's first minutes, hours and days...

Here is a mish-mash of photos from our time in the hospital. Lots of "firsts" in this series!

First time in mom's arms!

Wiped off and weighed. Very relaxed and at ease.


Meeting the McThors! 


The sister's enter the room! They were a bit hesitant and nervous. I think the hospital had them a little off their game. 

Saying hello. She couldn't be convinced to get her jacket, gloves or hat off first!  

Maya and Claire! Maya is such a big sister! It is beautiful to see her go through this again 3 years later. It was really important for her to show us that she knew how to hold the baby and take care of her. She was showing us that she is grown up. Oh, sweetie, we know that but it seems like just yesterday you were Claire-sized!

Big Sisters!

Fin was so thoughtful and serious about her new role as big sister! Look at the look on her face!

Finley and Claire. 

Absolutely tickled! At least until Claire started to cry and then Fin was ready to hand her off! 

Claire's first bath. 

Maya made sure that everything was being done properly! 

Meeting Grandma Sandy!
 


Swaddled and alert!

The next day (2/8) Finley took advantage of the tub in the room! The girls miss having a bathtub. If they see a bathtub we are hard-pressed to keep them out of it! 

"Zuzu's Petals" from Auntie Kate!

"Meeting" Auntie Kate for the first time. We had the privilege of having Kate present at Maya and Finley's births but the distance between Fargo and Seattle is a bit further than Eugene and Seattle, so we had to settle with a Skype date!


The family of five!
