About Claire

Claire was born in June 2007 with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect. We found out she had this ahead of time during my 19-week ultrasound. She had repair surgery when she was 6 days old and was in the hospital for 22 days. She is now an active, thriving toddler. This blog was created to keep family and friends updated on her progress and to provide a hopeful example to other parents expecting CDH babies.

Ladybug

Claire is a ladybug this year for Halloween. I don't know if it tops the chick costume from last year, but I think it is pretty darn cute. I'm trying to get a picture of her in the costume, looking at the camera, smiling, and wearing the antennas. A lofty goal, I know. So far this is the best picture I have gotten...


A playgroup I belong to had a toddler Halloween party today. Claire had a "showdown" on the playground with an alligator and a chicken...

She is so cute and the shoes totally make the costume. I saw her chicken costume and I can't decide which is cuter. I bet Claire could hold her own in any showdown, but I worry about a ladybug having to go up against an alligator. Then again, this ladybug beat CDH so watch out alligator.
