Claudia Lynn was born on December 28 at 12:09pm. She is the product of the hard work of the high risk doctors at Yale New Haven. She was born after 21 hours of labor. Yes, Kasey is tired.

This picture was taken in the nursery where Claudia Lynn was poked and prodded and measured and bathed. She hardly rose a fuss at all to this commotion. She weighs 8lbs and 2.5oz and is 20.75 inches long. She has a lot of hair and big feet! She did well on all of her tests. She can grip really well.




Here Claudia Lynn gets her first singing lesson at about 1 hour old. Notice that they are practicing the OH vowel. It came out more like heh, but I thought it was a good start.

Claudia had visits from Uncle Marc and Aunt Patty. Cousins Jack, Hunter, Riley, and Monique were there right at the beginning. The cousins couldnt get too close but saw their cousin through the glass of the nursery. Great Uncles Bill and Jeff were baby Claudia's first visitors. Grandma Keating was there for the duration and Grandma Schneider will arrive tomorrow. Grandpa Keating kept tabs from Las Vegas and we know Grandpa Schneider watched over the baby for the entire pregnancy.



Here is Claudia at 5 minutes old, sleeping already. Claudia, Kasey and I send a special hello to Uncle Tyler! We are thinking about you!!
