claire's birthday party

When we brought Claire home from the hospital, the girls hadn't met their new sister yet. They had been busy preparing a birthday party for her! Meg helped her grandma make a birthday cake (the "2" is because she was 2 days old).


Always good to have a reason to throw a little birthday celebration! Don't know why Katie is wearing nothing but a diaper and a hat...


Poor Claire has some serious jaundice and has been hooked up to a phototherapy machine. We have her camping out in the living room where she can get fed, changed, and sleep while staying on the machine. She looks like a sad little glo-worm! We're hoping it will not be too long before she can be free again.

poor Claire - I'm sorry she had jaundice :( we didn't have to use the machine, but Soraya had jaundice also...so we spent every day for the first 2 weeks of her life going to get her little heel pricked :( I hope her jaundice clears up soon!! I can't wait to meet her. :)

Marie she looks so precious!!! I didn't realize you could use a machine at home...so much better than having to be at the hospital. I hope her jaundice gets better soon!!!

congratulations on baby Claire! From her pictures, she looks completely different from Meg and Katie. Sorry she has to be hooked up to the bililight but glad it's at home and not in the hospital! :) Hope it clears up very soon! And I'm sorry I didn't come see you in the hospital :(, this past week was a little crazy and we went out of town for the weekend to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday. Maybe sometime this week or next we can stop bye to meet baby Claire and visit with you!

I'm loving the Katie-wear (or lack thereof)---esp. bc she is sort of stylishly standing with her hip to one side!
