Claire Thomas Foster
11/12/10
1:37pm
6 lbs 11 oz
20.75” long
Everything went very smoothly, and both Claire and I are doing very well. Greg said everything went great for him, too, and we know that was of utmost importance J
Claire’s coloring is great and she has brown hair and blue eyes (for the moment). We’ve already been visited by both sets of her grandparents and her “cousin” Natalee, who said she would teach her “big girl stuff,” which I assume is all about princesses and fairies.
If all goes as planned, we’ll be home Sunday afternoon.
Thanks so much for all the prayers offered on our behalf. Now the real job begins!
CONGRATULATIONS!
