My Girl Clare

Here is a lovely awake picture of my girl Clare. She is a funny girl and furrows her brows all the time like Josh and Jake did. Just this last week Clare surpassed her birth weight at a whopping 7 lbs. 4 oz. This is a big mile stone for my little preemie. We have been working really hard on feeding her enough to make her gain weight. So it is quite an accomplishment. Enjoy!

Here's Our Girl!

Clare Marie Zitzelsberger
has joined us at last! She was born January 1st and was 19 inches long and 7lbs. 3ozs. in weight.
She is such a sweet little thing. We have been working on feeding her,
keeping her weight up and fighting jaundice. Those are the primary things that
babies born at 36 weeks struggle with. Luckily she is very sweet tempered and
hasn't even spit up on me. Its a miracle! Knock on wood! Here are some sweet little
pics from her first couple of days.
