Five Weeks

Five Weeks Old



We started the week by taking Mary Ella to church, and she was a sweet angel again.

But when we got home she decided she was ready for her Sunday lunch too.

I think the face she is making in this picture is hilarious. I wish I knew what she was thinking.
This week was a busy week. We had 3 doctors appointments in 3 days. Not my idea of a good time, but Mary Ella did great getting out three days in a row. I had my follow-up appointment, and she had her one month check-up. She was up to 8 lbs. 7.5 oz., and was 21 1/4 in. long. The doctor was pleased with her growth, and Mary Ella took her shot like a pro. I couldn't even watch of course. It's a good thing her daddy was there. We also had an appointment at Children's Hospital for an EEG. I haven't mentioned this before because I didn't want to alarm everyone if it was no big deal, but Mary Ella has been having some tremors in her sleep. Her arms and legs jerk rhythmically. It's not a startle, and it doesn't wake her up, but it really freaked us out. We let her doctor know a few weeks ago, and she said she couldn't say it was or wasn't a seizure. But she ordered the EEG to see if anything was abnormal with her brain activity. It was a very sad experience walking into that hospital and seeing our baby's head hooked up to so many wires. But she did so well- never made a peep. We got the results back, and everything looks good, so hopefully it is nothing or atleast something she will grow out of.

She got a little tired of waiting in the waiting room. Me too!

Her toe got caught in her gown. Too cute
