Well- Claire Elizabeth Peterson is finally here and we couldn't be happier! She is so peaceful and such a cutie! Olivia has done really well with her so far, although has been a little wild and crabby with all the chaos and change going on. She has a new sister, mom in the hospital for 2 days, Francisco the baby sitter for a morning, and now Gramma from Oregon. She has LOVED it all, but it has made her a little crazy at the end of the day. Too much for a little 2 year old!
Anyway- labor and delivery went GREAT! Things went VERY differently this time around. The big contractions started around 4:20 am- and we were in the hospital by 6:30 am. I got put on the epidural pretty fast to slow things down, but she was still born just a few hours later at 11:04 am. This time the epidural wasn't as strong- I could feel quite a bit- although it wasn't painful until the pushing. Luckily for me I only pushed for a few minutes and pop she was out!! With a little episiotomy I had no other tears and healing is a dream come true compared to last time! I feel SOOOOO much better this time around! It is AWESOME! I feel so so blessed. Well- I gotta go feed little Claire- she is a big eater and feeding is going pretty well too! We are happy and healthy, and thankful for all we have... a beautiful family!

Congratulations Sarah, Brett and Olivia on that beautiful new addition. Little Claire is beautiful and I love all the pictures. That one of Olivia with Claire is adorable. I am glad to hear that you feel so much better this time around. Just beautiful!
You are a wonderful photographer! Your girls are so precious. Congratulations again, we're so happy for you. My goodness, our baby Sarah is only 3 months old, but she's changed soooo much already! It just seems like yesterday I was coming home from the hospital after having her. I hope Olivia will adjust OK to having a sister. Give Claire a kiss from us.

Wow, what a beautiful baby. I'm so glad to hear that labor and delivery went so well. I didn't know you had a hard time with your first one. I wish I didn't have c-sections and could be out of the hospital the next day, but alas babies get here the way they are supposed to I guess. Love ya

Yay! I'm so glad things went so much better! With Hannah they kept saying, "She's paving the way for the second one." I really did NOT want to hear that... but it was very true!
