Happy Holidays!

Hello,

Well as luck would have it, and a lot of love & prayers, our Baby Claire now weighs 6 pounds 1.5 ounces.  Alan's Christmas wish has come true and he is a very happy Daddy.  She is growing and changing so much in just the 3 weeks that she has been home.  If she had been born on her due date, she would be 2 weeks old today!

We have had recent issues with our little Claire and gas.  Yes, I think all parents encounter this issue at some time or another.  We started her on Mylicon drops made for babies and the result is amazing.  She is no longer crying due to gas discomfort.  Right now she is laying beside me in a very lovely quiet alert state.  She is taking in the world around her and completely content.  She is wearing a very cute pokadot outfit from her Aunt Mary Lou and Cousin Meghan and is really looking forward to her first Christmas Morning.

We couldn't be more pleased and are so very happy with the blessings and good fortune that this year has brought to us and our new family.  I had always imagined what it would be like to have a child and to celebrate the Christmas season.  My expectations have been exceeded and we do appreciate the fact that if not for the many prayers and good wishes, our journey would have been much more difficult.  Let our experience be proof that dreams can come true and it is never too late for second chances. 

"Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus".  We do believe!!!!   

Merry Christmas and wishing you all love and a joy-filled holiday season.

Love,
Denise & Alan
