Fall is Coming!

September 10 - 16

This is Clara's third week at home.  It has been a good week.  Lots of first this week.

We had the visiting nurse come again on Thursday, the 11th.  Clara's weight is now 5 lbs and 7 ozs.  It is a gain of 3.5 ounces this week. The nurse said everything is looking good and that is our last visit with her.  It has been nice having her come these past weeks to hear that Clara is gaining weight and growing.

On Friday, Clara and I traveled down to Hampstead for a Bridal Shower planning/work session.  It was our first big trip with an hour and half drive one way.  It was a very successful trip and a vote of confidence for this momma.

We went grocery shopping this week.  It is very limiting on how much one can buy with a baby bucket in the shopping cart.  Luckily we can go shopping more frequently these days.  Also Clara doesn't mind helping out and carrying some of the lighter items.

She was all ready for the Patriots game this Sunday with her own Patriots onesie and our usually football watching friends who came over for the game, say that her onesie helped inspire a win on the part of the Patriots.

On Monday, we went for a walk with Kim.  This was our first big walk with the stroller and the first time I had to collapse and set up the stroller.  All done with success mostly.  We walked from the elementary school in Plymouth through the college and back.  It was a nice sunny day!
