Pretty in pink

Home from the hospital

Today I came home from the hospital and decided to wear my special pink going home outfit. We just got home (very relieved to be here) and are getting settled in. Mommy is doing well, on her feet and walking around.

Who do I look like?

Everyone seems to have a different theory on who I look like. What do you think?

What about gifts?

Some have asked what to do about gifts for Clara. She has a gift registry at Bellini in Santa Monica, which is 310.394.6420. Bellini is a little bit behind the times when it comes to online systems, so you will have to call the store directly to access the registry. Other Bellini locations won't have it.

Beyond Bellini, Clara already has plenty of clothes for 0-6 months, so outfits for 6-12 or even 1-2 years would be better.

Some think of a check as a lame gift, but not us. We would happily accept donations to the Clara Eliot Baby Nurse Fund of Santa Monica.

Gifts should be sent to our home at:

The Eliot Family
201 Ocean Ave. , Apt. 1001b
Santa Monica, CA 90402

Hello everbody! It's me, Clara.

She chose her own birthday!

Clara Margaret was born at 4:55am this morning at Cedars. She came out looking perfect and weighed 6.9 lbs (20 inches). Pictures to follow...

Sveta is doing great - out of it following the operation - but all systems normal.

Welcome Clara!
