Well, we made it home today! I'm sorry it's taken us awhile to update on her arrival! I'm too tired to post the entire story, but after a very NON EFFECTIVE epidural, Claire made it safely weighing in at 7 pounds 8 ounces and a whopping 21 inches long. She was the lightest of the 3 girls, but tied with Kaitlyn for the longest. She is just as sweet as can be and we are so blessed and honored that God chose us to be her parents. Kaitlyn is being a great Big Sister just as she was/is with Cora. Cora, however, is having a little bit of a hard time adjusting. She wants nothing to do with me right now. It doesn't help that I can't pick her up or hold her - because of the surgery to have my tubes tied. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks she will adjust! It just kills me to not be able to pick her up and squeeze her!
Enough about that! Here are a few pictures of sweet Claire. Thanks for your prayers! I'll write more about the "birth story" later.

I am so glad that you posted...I have been checking constantly:) Claire is beautiful just like your other two girls! I am so glad that you made it home and Claire is healthy. We will have to come by and see you in another week or so because Campbell has been asking every day if you are better yet:) If she only knew. We will continue praying for all of your precious family over the coming weeks with the adjustment of being a family of five. Love you all and I cannot wait to hold sweet Claire.

What a gorgeous family! She is beautiful. And just let me know when you are going to post about the NON EFFECTIVE epidural so that I can NOT read that part! Ha! Let us know if you need anything. Glad you guys are home. We wanted to come up to the hospital but two of us were feeling rather puny!
She is BEAUTIFUL!! Congratulations- we've been anxiously awaiting the news! I had my ears covered on the "non effective epidural" part. La la la la la....
Wow! I think she looks a lot like you - beautiful! Good to talk to ya the other day, and I'm glad everything went well minus the epidural - I can't imagine. Miss ya!

Could she be any more perfect? She is just beautiful!
You are a super trooper for making it through a faulty epidural! And tell that stinkin' anesthesiologist that you don't want to pay for it since it didn't work!!
Look forward to talking to you soon!

She is beautiful. Congrats!!
Claire is beautiful! All of you Mayo girls are so beautiful; I love the family picture! Can't wait to get to hold her and for our little ones to have some time together. God bless you with quick healing and as much rest as possible :) Love you!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I love that she is healthy and that you are too. She is lovely!!! I am thankful that she is here and you are doing so well.
Hang in there with little Cora. Our Anna Wren had the hardest time when I came home with our Claire. Anna Wren didn't know what to do with me, Claire, or herself. It is just a season though but it doesn't last long... Anna Wren warmed up and now, I can't imagine them without each other. Cora and Claire will be great just give them a little time and pray them through it.
Praying for you all the time! I know three is hard. WE can share stories sometime :)
Blessings and much congratulations!!
