Jillian Claire

Our little family of four

my favorite nurses Kristi was so sweet to come visit us both days on her lunch break.

"the girls"

After much anticipation little Jillian Claire was born March 16, 2011

She Weighed 7 lbs 6.5 oz & was 19.5 inch long.

I was induced two days prior to my due date so that I could have my doctor deliver her. That morning I waited for the hospital to call me to let me know what time to come in. I received the call and was at the hospital by 8:30 a.m. They started the drugs right away. My nurse took her lunch break, and it was during that time I felt like I could feel Jillian ready to come out. I called for a nurse to come in and told her what I felt. She peeked under the blanket, but did not do anything more then that. Then right after that my doctor came in before she was about to do a C - section. I told her what I was feeling and that the previous nurse didn't really check very hard. So she gloved up and said "yup your baby is right there." "I had a feeling you would go fast." So everything happened super quick after that. Jillian came out just 15 minutes after I started pushing. It was so much easier this time around. Like last time...we once again left the hospital with out a name for our baby girl. Choices were Natalie, Ali, Taylor, I think there was one or two more but I've already forgotten them. Eventually we chose Jillian which was one of the girl names we had on our list when Cameron was born. Claire is in honor of Paul's father. She received her name two days after leaving the hospital. We decided two days faster this time around. :)

She is now 3 1/2 months old...It goes so quickly. She is wonderful and Cameron has adjusted quite well. I think the 3 1/2 year age difference is perfect for me. He loves her and now she smiles and enjoys watching him. I figured this post was beter late then never!
