Baby Claire
Last week I had off Wednesday and I went to Rehobeth Beach to see my friend Sheila and spend the day on the beach. As I drove down, its a 2 hour drive the weather was beautiful. I ran into some wet spots on the road where it had rained before I got there but the skys were clear. I got to Sheila's and we loaded the car and stopped by Wawa to get some lunch and by time we got to the beach a storm was coming, we could hear thunder in the distance. We took our chairs down to the beach and sat and talked and then a big thunder clap happened and we jumped up and got into the car and waited it out. It was over in about 15 minutes, so then we took everything down to the beach and it was sunny for about 10 minutes and then the fog rolled in. We talked for hours and walked the beach and saw the dolphin playing in the water. It was a great day. When I got home me and John went to McDonalds for dinner and then it was off to bed for me since I had to get up at 2:30am to go to work. On Thursday I got all of the truck done at work and was out of there by 2pm and got home and John was there, he took a shower and we left for Virginia. We decided it would be best to travel 301 instead of 95 because we would hit DC at rush hour but before the HOV lanes opened for all traffic. So we drove and saw different sites than when we travel on 95 (boring). We went thru Tappahanok and the GPS sent us down some dirt road in King and Queen it was so funny. We turned around and got back on a hard surface road and made it home. I got a picture texted to me shortly after we got there and Baby Claire was born at 9:16pm weighing 6lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. She has lots of hair, unlike all of the other children that have been born in our family. We finally went to bed when Momma got home, she was with Jennifer at the hospital all day. We got up Friday and went to the hospital to see the baby and we had Maggie with us so John took her back to see her neice and then I sat in the waiting room with her while Jennifer visited and then I went in and heald the precious little girl and got some pictures. Then we went to Ross and I got some things for the baby and some shoes for me, Jennifer and Maggie got bathing suits. We got back to West Point and we went to a new store that is very nice. The prices are great. I got a necklace and a shirt. The shirt is awsome, I can't wait to wear it. We chilled at home the rest of the day and Saturday Me Jennifer and Sandra went back to the hospital to pack up Brittany and bring her stuff home and get John something to eat and of course hold the baby. When we got home we had crab cakes for lunch, oh my goodness they were so good and then we went to Jennifers to play in the pool. Oh I forgot we had awsome chicken tenders for lunch Friday. We went home for dinner and Billy lighted some fireworks for us. Sunday it was chilli and rainy. We had a great big breakfast and after that daddy started on dinner, we had Chicken Pot Pie, WOW it was good. We left at 4 and when we got on 95 all of the lanes were full of stopped cars. Oh My we said it's going to be a long ride. We traved to Fredricksburg with traffic stopping at each exit. We got off 95 and on Rt 1 and here again we were in stop and go traffic. Finally we started moving and we got back on 95 and had no more problems. We got home in 5 hours instead of the normal 4. Not to bad for a holiday weekend. We decided we would not travel on a holiday weekend unless it is Christmas.
