Visiting Clara in the Hospital, and now home.

Here are some photos of the kids visiting Clara in the Hospital -- a big thank you to Crystal Dickens for assisting me in corralling all the children during the visit. Also, we were discharged on Saturday and are all home and happy. Clara's first Pediatrician appointment went well. She was discharged weighing 7 lb 11 oz, and was up to 8 lb 2 oz 2 days later. She's in the 75th percentile for all her measurements. On to the photos!

All the Hill women together.

James is totally not interested...

Hallie loving that she can hold her baby sister!

Ruby in the Hospital bed holding Clara!

The closest James got to Clara that day.

Ruby and Hallie in the shirts (Great) Aunt Tanja made for them. James has one too, just didn't take off his jacket. 

Hallie chillin' in the Hospital bed.

Hallie holding Clara once more.

Hallie was stinkin' cute this day.

While the oldest, technically not the biggest at birth...

At home sleeping on Dad. In the hospital she wanted nothing to do with me.

Really people? I'm trying to sleep here!

Hallie really does love Clara quite a bit.

While Hallie holds Clara, James torments the cat.

Ruby holding and hugging Clara. Way too cute.

That's all for now. Everyone is doing well at home and we'll post more as time and energy allow. Hope everyone has a happy turkey day!

Clara has arrived!

Mainly photos this time, but Clara Margaret Hill made her arrival today at 12:42 pm Eastern time. She weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. She's' by far the largest child we've had at birth, and pretty darn cute if you ask me. Clara and Jessica are doing well tonight and resting in the Hospital. I'm home with Ruby, James, and Hallie tonight.

Now on to the photos!

Ready to head to Surgery.

It's a tradition. Dr. Dad, at your service!

Why hello there! Why is it so cold?

Diaper is on, mostly cleaned up. Not. Happy.

Mommy is asleep from some medications, but I love being near her. 

In Dad's arms leaving the Operating Room. I'm hungry. 

So snuggly. Daddy, why did you take off my blankets?

Uh oh. Is that.... water?

Bath time? Really? I was sleeping so peacefully....

Hrm. This feels good. I could go for more soft head massages. 

Eyes open after bath time. And I have hair!
