Sleeping beauty

She's been sleeping most of the day today, occasionally making one of those cute baby grunts or sighs. Mom and dad have spent plenty of time just staring at her, a bit in shock that she's actually here.

Baby Doctor

Here's Clara with Dr. Sontrop, who has cared for Beth throughout her pregnancy and will be Clara's doctor now as well. She's been awesome for all three of us.

Happy Papa

Super Mom

Happy (and a little tired) mama is doing very well the morning after. Here's a quick shot of mom and Clara after another successful nursing.

Hello, world!

Meet Clara Mabelle Heinz. She was born last night at exactly 11:00 p.m. after almost 20 hours of labor. Proud mama is tired, but she and baby are doing just fine.

She's 7 pounds, 5 ounces, 19 inches long, and already starting to nurse and sleep just fine.
