Claire Bennett Scoggins

Claire was born on September 15th (Laurie's Birthday!) at 12:45pm. She weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 19inches long.

I was induced and progressing really slowly... at 11:30 I was only 5cm dialated and I thought I'd be waiting all day. I sent Joel and his sister, Joanna, to go eat some lunch. I called the nurse in at 12:30 and told her that I thought my epidural was wearing off because I was feeling some pressure. She checked me and I was 10cm and ready to push. Joel wasn't back yet, so I called him and told him to hurry back. My doctor arrived before Joel... his comment was, "Joel's was there for the other girls' births. Two out of three isn't bad!" Luckily Joel walked in about that time. I pushed at the next contraction and out came Claire!














Addie Lane and Lucy come to visit their new sister. Both are VERY lovey and sweet with Claire.






While Addie hugs and kisses Claire, Lucy runs around the hospital room with this bucket on her head. Funny Girl!



On our way home


Nana, Pawpaw and Aunt Jo came to welcome Claire and keep the big girls. What a big help!!
