Yes, for those of you wondering, we had our baby. For those who are confused, yes I was due in February. (I am aware that it is only January, but try telling that to Claire!) I went for a routine visit last week with my doctor and my blood pressure was elevated. I was told to go home and take it easy, only to end up back at the doctor's office the next day. Little did I know that when I left the house last Thursday (1-11-07) I wouldn't be coming home for a week, and that I would be bringing the baby home with us! My blood pressure was such that I had to have week of bedrest in the hospital and then I was induced. On Wed, January 17,2007 at 8:38 in the morning we were pleased (especially me after being in labor all night) to meet our newest family member, Claire Dorothy Croft. I was only 36 weeks pregnant so she was a couple weeks earlier than we expected. Because of that she is a little peanut weighing in at 5lbs, 11oz, and 19 inches long.
Claire came out screeming and is doing very well. She was apparently impatient and ready to get on with being here. It is very untypical to have the complications I did with a fourth pregnancy when I had no complications with the others, but it just goes to show you that our plans are not always the same as God's plans. We are finally home tonight, after an incredibly long week, and look forward to getting adjusted as a family with our newest member! Enjoy the pictures, Love The Crofts

She is so beautiful! Great job Cara. We can't wait to see her in person.
What an adorable little peanut!! I wish we could be there to see a baby that small, especially since ours started at 10 lbs!! :) Sorry we don't own any preemie clothes to loan;). Seeing her in that huge carseat is hilarious! And I looove the name Claire!

Hi guys! CONGRATULATIONS from our family to yours! Claire is just beautiful and is such a little peanut!!! What a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl. I'm sure Samuel, Abby and Isabelle are going to show her all the ropes in the Croft household :) Take care and get some rest! We love you.
