First Doctor Visit

Addison went for her first doctor visit this morning.

Before we took off, we did a little bit of relaxing in the sun. Addy was totally relaxed and cool as a cucumber. Grammy took lots of shots, and this is one of my favorites.



so...how many people does it take to keep a baby's thermometer in her arm pit? the answer, it seems, is 3. we ended up having to take a second try, but she checked out ok.

The doctor did some checking of the eyes, ears, etc... Addy is still a little jaundiced, but the sun time should help that, and the jaundice usually peaks around day 5 or so anyway (which is about where we are).


This was another picture from earlier in the morning--one of Grammy's close ups.


After we got back to the hotel, someone had a snack that appears to have resulted in a full belly. Didn't stop her from having another snack an hour and a half later. I think there's a reason that Addy is already almost back up to her birth weight (she's now 7.10...only one more ounce to go).


Mom and Dad couldn't be happier.

I'm so glad that you've been able to have so much family come to visit, surrounding you at this time, helping in the sleep rotation :) and celebrating with you! Nathan was pretty jaundiced too after he was born, but after plenty of liquids and lots of sunshine, he was doing great! God bless you guys!
