Claire Faustina - first picture ("curtain pic") 3 May 2011

We want to share this full color, full pixel picture with our beloved family and friends [who follow this blog] as we welcome Claire Faustina into this world. That first little cry adds so much joy to our lives that it'd be selfish not to share this wonderful experience with as many readers as possible.

Seconds after this picture was taken, Andrew informed Laura that "It's a girl" and Laura (amidst happy tears) said, "Really?!" The medical staff laughed to hear Laura and Andrew's joyous disbelief! Their laughter and our happy tears and subsequent chatter about how to manage three redheaded girls transformed that "O.R." into an absolutely amazing baby greeting experience. Excellent work hospital folk.
