2 weeks old!!

We have now had Claire with us for 2 weeks! It has been rough being the parents of a typical newborn. Philip and I are running on no sleep but it doesn't seem to take away the joy of having Claire home with us. We've had a lot of trouble with Claire gaining weight. She fell from 8 lbs 9 oz to 7 lbs 7 oz. She is slow to gain it back so we are realy having to work hard. We've had lots of doctors visits (and really racking up the co-pays) to check on her weight and get advice. She is now up 3 ounces so we don't have to go back for a week. Yay! We never thought she would even fit in newborn clothes and now we are starting the third week and she is still swimming in them. We're going to go to the used kids clothes store tomorrow to try to get a few little outfits so I'm not doing her laundry twice a day (she's a spit-up girl and 4 outfits don't do it!). If she keeps gaining like this she should be in her cute 0-3 month stuff in a week or two.

Today we actually had both kids napping at the same time! This gave Philip and I some time to make homemade pizza for lunch and get some rest. We were planning on going to the park today but it looks like it is going to rain so we'll wait for the sunshine tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have some good pictures to post from that trip!

Here are some pictures of Jack and Claire. The ones at the bottom are of her first bath in her bathtub. She hated the sponge baths but surprisingly loved her bath in the tub!
