Clara Louise











Here are a few more pics of our sweet baby girl. So--I had no idea that taking care of a newborn was so exhausting. Everyone always said we wouldn't get any sleep but I never really knew that they were being literal. I have a new found admiration for all parents. Also, Ben is the most AMAZING husband ever. I don't know what I'd do without his love and support.

I hear you! Those first 2 weeks were torture!! I was so tired, crying all the time, etc, etc. What helped me out was to nap whenever the baby did so I could function somewhat. Hang in there!!

Oh, Anna! I'm so happy and excited for you! She is just perfect. I know that it is so hard for you right now, but it does get better! Do what Kris said...sleep when Clara sleeps. You only really get to do that with the first baby, so TAKE ADVANTAGE!! The laundry and dishes will still be there when you wake up....or when Ben gets home (hee hee) ;) It's OK to cry and scream if you need to...it's hard work to be a new mom, but I know that you will be amazing! I really am so happy for you and Ben. :)

Oh the newborn fog. At least it always felt like I was in a fog for the first little while. It gets better promise! And it helps that you're so madly in love too...

She could not be more cute!!! I totally remember that I didn't know you could be so tired--especially the first night our Clara came home! It is funny to look back on how tired we were! I am so happy you are Clara's mommy (:
