Merry Christmas!!
We hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Emma and Taylor were spoiled by Santa this year. I guess that is what happens when you start shopping in Sept! We waited for Claire to take a Christmas pic. Here are a few of the girls.
Happy New Year!!
Claire all wrapped up!!
Just a few pics I took of Claire for our Christmas card/ Birth announcment. She did so well, I expected it to be a disaster, screaming baby or worse pooing and peeing all over the place!! Brian played Santa with a stocking on his arm and the bottom cut out and a ladies white glove. I am giving away all my secrets..

She was bigger then I thought!!


What must have been going through her mind??
Yes I torture my kids to get the picture..

Welcome to the World Claire Ella Decker
Well Claire finally made it. She wasn't going to come out on her own. She was fat and happy in there and after listening to her crazy, loud sisters for months she thought she was safer inside.
She was born Dec 11th at 7:51 Pm
She weighed 8lbs and 10 oz's and was 21 inches long. Rather large compared to Emma and Taylor 5lbs and only 18 inches!! We came home Saturday and are adjusting well.. Emma and Taylor are doing great with her and are a help. Brian being around this time has made things much easier, nevermind it is just one this time.


Claire 6 days old..


A Smile!!
Must be Gas...





Claire and I the next day..

Her poor head looked like a cone when she came out. Thankfully it rounded out quickly.





Proud Big sisters!

Emma and Taylor seeing Claire for the first time. After seeing her they came over to me in bed and wanted to see my belly button, that is how she came out..... Taylor also informed me that my belly was still "kinda" big.
The honesty of kids..






The Girls..
Emma and Taylor are happy to have Claire here.
They wanted to know if my back would quit hurting now!
Considering she came out sunny side up, it may be a while..


Anyone who has had 10 lb babies, Kudos to you!!
This was enough for me.
