On Monday, just 2 days after bringing Amelia home we had an appointment to see her pediatrician for the first time. That morning before her appointment we decided to give her a little sponge bath and get her in a cute little outfit for her first outing. She did so great at the Dr. office. She was happy as can be in her little car seat the whole ride there and in the waiting room. When we first went back to the exam room I had to fully undress her so that she could get her temperature taken (poor little thing) and so they could weigh her. She was 6 lb 11 oz at birth and when we left the hospital she was 6 lb 5 oz. At her appointment she was 6 lb 3 oz. The Dr. wasn't worried at all and they don't get concerned unless she would lose 10 oz total before starting to gain. Amelia looked just a touch jaundiced, but the Dr. felt that if she starts eating and eliminating good then that would just go away. So, she wanted us to come back on Thursday to get her weighed to make sure she wasn't continuing to lose weight.

Oh my goodness! Is that a paper towel she's laying on? She's so tiny . . . AND SO CUTE!!!
It's nice reading your posts. It takes me back to when Serif was that little. It's so amazing how quickly it all goes. You just don't know until you go through it yourself. They're amazing little things that just make you melt. Glad things are going well!
