Claire's First Few Days Home

Hailey has been a great big sister and loves to hold Claire.

The girls insisted on helping with her first bath. Lindsay is combing her hair. 

Claire content with her Dad.

The littlest sister.

How did my other girls get so big!?

The Arrival of Monster #3 - Claire

At 3:30 PM Claire Pauline Hassell arrived. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and was 20.75 inches long.

She came out with the cord wrapped around her neck a few times and gave us a scare but quickly came to. The eventful birth means two days in the hospital, but should give us all a chance to get some rest and ensure she stays healthy.

Her middle name comes from her great-grandmother Pauline Priest who is a fantastic person and someone that we hope she grows up to become like. If you have a chance to visit BYU, go to the library and you will find her there helping students in the genealogy section.

Here are a few pictures and we look forward to watching her grow and develop.



Beautiful mother with beautiful daughter. There's even a bow on the little hat.

Lindsay's and Hailey's first encounter. Lindsay let us know there was a baby. Brooke's mom, Shelley is taking care of the the two big monsters, a great help.



After her first bath, finally all clean. She already has more hair than her dad.





She enjoys sucking on her hands.
