Dr. Seitz is our GUY!

In her carseat before her appointment!

Just being cute!!! as always!!

We had the long and anticipated appointment with Dr. Seitz at the Cleveland Clinic today, and it went very well. Claire had to get x-rays, which she HATED! She was asleep for the trip to Beachwood, and we had to wake her up for the X-Rays which she wasn't happy about. Then she really didn't want us moving her around in ways she didn't want to be- ugh baby girl!- The nurses and receptionists were so nice! We found out that people from all over the world come to see our doctor, which made us feel really good. The doctor said we should be able to get a thumb and 2 to 3 fingers on each hand. They won't do surgery until she is 6 months old so that puts her first surgery in September. We go back on July 2nd and will do x-rays again and meet with the doctor and get our tentative date for surgery. Beachwood was such a nice facility but her surgeries will be at Lutheran Hospital (a Cleveland Clinic Hospital but not main campus). It is downtown Cleveland close to Progressive Field, it is a fairly small hospital only have 200 beds. We are really looking forward to all this, even though it will be hard it will make us stronger as a family! Claire is really starting to get a PERSONALITY!!! and boy are we are trouble!! After her x-rays she was very unhappy and then had to share that with everyone in the waiting room. She didn't cry but did her "complaining" that she does. Letting everyone know she was not happy with what went on in that room. She is smiling and talking more which is fun for us! Mitch and I are going to try to put her in the crib this weekend. We will see how it goes!
