Sweet Girl

Having a baby around the house is so sweet! (except for the lack of sleep that is) Emily has been great with her. She often goes up to her sister and gives her kisses and tells me that her baby sister is the cutest baby! She pretty much only refers to her as her baby sister and often can't even remember what her name actually is.
Clara loves to be cuddled. Much different than her sister who just wanted to be laid down in her bed to sleep. I think Clara would be happy if I just held her all night. She sleeps her hardest from about 3pm-8pm and then is awake for awhile and it takes some doing to get her back to sleep. She is eating well and should be back up to her birth weight soon. I can't believe how much smaller she was compared to Em. The doctors kept telling me that she was a big baby so I just assumed she would be bigger than Em. At her one week checkup she weighed 1lb less than Em weighed at birth.
Zachary update ~ We have been able to stay in touch with e-mails everyday and that has been wonderful! We have also been able to facebook chat a few days as well. So thankful that we can stay in touch as much as we do. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. We know God has some awesome things planned for our lives and we are trusting him to take us through these deployments. To say it is hard in an understatement. He misses his family like crazy and we miss him just as much. Can't wait for him to come home to love on his girls!
