Even though I spent years babysitting as a teenager, I'm learning new things everyday and after 2 weeks, I now understand why it takes mothers so long to get anything done. Today it took me 4 hours to pay bills and getting ready now takes all day. Nap 1 - shower. Nap 2 - put clothes on. Nap 3 - well, you get the idea. I'm hoping as Claire gets on a schedule and decides to sleep more than an hour here and there, that I can become more efficient. I did manage to figure out how to nurse and reconcile bank statements simultaneously today. :-)
Last week I FINALLY got around to taking some newborn pictures of Claire so I'm going to put off blogging about her birth until later. One thing I will mention is...can you believe all of her hair?! Here are my favorites- ENJOY!

what a beautiful baby! Hate to break it to you but that whole efficiency thing... it doesn't get a ton better ;)
so cute! congrats! I was waiting anxiously for pictures!
she is darling!
Sounds like you're doing great with the first-time-mother issues. It is hard, hang in there! Maybe you already do this, but my kids always slept a ton better when they were swaddled and warm. My mom always joked that I made my kids a nest in their bouncer chair, haha. Another thing to try would be to switch up where/what she's sleeping in. Just some ideas. I'm still up with Will twice a night, so I'm feelin' for ya.
I just can't say enough how cute those pictures are. Also, you are very good at multitasking, so if anyone can get the hang of it, you will:) Hopefully she will be like Ashlyn and Blake and in 5-6 weeks you'll both be sleeping through the night. And I pray she isn't like Avery or you'll be awake all night for the next 50 weeks or so:)
Oh my goodness!!! She is so ADORABLE! I can't believe all that hair. I can't wait to meet her in person. I will have to ask you for advice, because by the time I have mine you will be a pro :)
Oh my gosh you guys did GOOD!!!! She's so so pretty. And it's SO EXHAUSTING in the beginning... your schedule sounds even better than mine was lol. I think I just did the shower thing for the first 3 weeks- no getting dressed. :)
And nursing while doing bank statements?! I'm impressed. Nice work momma!! :)
she is so darling, precious, perfect ... i could go on!! Congratulations!! and welcome to the mommy club ... we know how you feel and want to help. don't hesitate to ask for it!! (i'm just sad that i'm 1000 miles away!) good luck with everything and even if blogging has to be the thing that goes, post pics every once in a while ... i can't wait to see how she grows up!!
I think Claire's grandparents are as proud as her parents are. She is so precious, even when she cries. I'm very glad you live nearby so I can hold her just about anytime I want. I love how the pictures turned out. I make a good assistant, right?
Tanya she is so adorable! I cant believe Tyler saw her before me. I cant wait to come meet her and see you. Good job you two!
She is so beautiful... and cute! Love the pictures.
