Welcome to the Blog on Clara and Wilson McGarvey!

Clara's amniotic sac ruptured on June 7, 2011 when we were 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Ten days later, Clara and Wilson were born. They have already enriched our lives in ways we couldn't have imagined, and we wanted to share those experiences with our friends and family. So sit back and enjoy the read - they are full of excitment and surprises!

Did somebody have a case of the Mondays?

Clara and Wilson decided they weren't ready for the party to end
Either Monday started really early for us or the weekend never ended for Clara and Wilson. At around 4:30 Monday morning we half expected them to bust out some electronic music and start waiving glow sticks. By 8:30 a.m. it was nap time for everyone except Morgan, who had to go work. As you can see in the picture above, even if he wanted to stay home, there wouldn't have been room on the couch. By noon the kids were fussy enough that Chris called in reinforcements. Judy (Morgan's mom who still hasn't chosen her official grandma name) came out to our house, helped Chris pack up the kids, and the four of them took a field trip to grandma's house. Once there and settled, Grandma watched Clara and Wilson while Chris went for a much needed run.

It was beautiful weather yesterday and going for a run re-charged Chris' batteries. Forgetting about their behavior over the past 24 hours, Chris was energetic enough to try nursing Clara and Wilson together for only the second time. The first attempt was a complete disaster. Last night was actually somewhat successful but, unfortunately for Morgan, it was still a two-man process. The whole scene looked as ridiculous as you think, so, lucky for you, we do not have pictures.

And of course, after a day in which Clara and Wilson would have convinced the Duggars not to have any more kids, this is how cute they looked last night before having their diapers changed.  

They actually look this perfect for about 30 seconds every day.
