Our Little Claire

Here are a few pictures of Claire. She was born yesteday around 6:00 pm. She's having some issues and will be in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for the foreseeable future. She weighs 6 lbs flat, and was somewhere between 20 and 24 inches. They did one measurement in the operating room(20"), and one in the NICU(24").

Brand New



Lots of Pokers...there are a total of 10 tubes entering her body, along with 5 or 6 monitors sticking to the outside.



Our little corner


We're waiting for some tests to come back before we really know what all the issues are, but right now they're dealing with pulmonary hypertension and possible infection from the amniotic fluid. Kanien's water broke Wednesday night, but they didn't deliver the baby until Saturday at 6:00. We'll update when we can say for sure what's happening. Thanks to everyone who is praying and fasting for Claire.

Yeah, I got some clarification on the height thing, and she's just 20, not 24. That'd have been pretty lanky...

She is so cute, I already feel a little bond, like I know her! I hope she gets all those tubes out of her soon!
