For those of you who haven't met or seen me on Facebook yet ..... My name is Clara Christine Gerber and today I am one week old! Here is a little update of my first week:

I came into this world through a Caesarian birth on Tuesday, November 23rd. (Is that how you spell it?) Mommy did really well and is still recovering well. We left the hospital on the Thursday (after I had some x-rays taken of me AND daddy getting the change to do his first diaper change .... Mommy wasn't there to see it and she regrets it!)

My first outing, coming out of the hospital, was to the Department of Home Affairs where we had to apply for my passport. Here we really experienced God's favor. What should have taken us 2 weeks, took us about 35 minutes and we walked out of the building with my passport! This meant we could go home; so on Saturday we packed our car (boy, did we have a lot of stuff!) and headed home.

We have enjoyed being home and trying to get into some kind of a routine! I have already met some new friends and I like all of them! (Cant't wait to meet a lot of you reading this update!) Grandma Kemp is here helping mommy and it has been great. And Grandpa Gerber walks around with a proud grin on his face the whole time!

One of my most favorite things to do is to sleep on my daddy's chest! (Which is now slightly bigger than usual ..... because he is so proud to be my daddy!) And I am enjoying my special times with mommy while she feeds me in our very special rocking chair!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for us during the delivery and also send us all those messages. I know mommy and daddy appreciate it a lot!
