Welcome to the world, Claire Marie Gautreaux!

Claire Marie Gautreaux was born via scheduled c-section on Dec. 18, 2008. She weighed 8lbs. 13oz. and measured 20.1 inches. Although I'd really hoped to do a VBAC, I knew that going past my due date increased the likelihood of an emergency C-section. I decided that a scheduled c-section after my due date would be our best option. Recovery has been going very well, and little Claire loves to eat! Seth and Anna are so excited to be big brother and sister. I want to thank my friends, Stephanie Alvarez and Bonny Rollins, for taking care of Anna and Seth during my hospital stay. You are wonderful moms and friends! I don't know what I'd do without you both. :)
