First Doctor's Visit

Mia helped get her ready.

Mary Ella is braver than I am when it comes to doctors. She did great during her first visit! She weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 3/4 in. long. She had lost down to 6 lbs. 13 oz. when we left the hospital, so I was very pleased with her weight gain. We had lots of questions for the pediatrician, and we were really impressed because she spent ALOT of time with us. We thought she might have a little bit of jaundice, so they did a blood test. She took the stick in the heal like a champ! She was more upset that the nurse was messing with her feet. Her levels were a little up, but not too bad. At the hospital she had blood work and a sonogram on her kidney. We have not yet heard back on those tests, but I will keep you updated. She seems to be a very healthy girl, but please keep praying that the cyst goes away and never gives her any trouble.
