Two Week Check-Up

Joslyn had her two week check-up today. I can't believe she is already two weeks old. Anyway, she is doing great. She now weighes 6lbs 1oz and has grown 1.5 inches. The doctor says she is perfectly healthy and is happy to she her growing so well.

She also had to do her newborn screening today. For those how don't know, for the newborn screening they have this paper with 5 circles on it. They then prick your infants heel and squeeze drops of blood onto these five circles. They have to completely cover the circles, so it takes about four or five drops for each one. Joslyn was such a trooper. She was not happy about it, but she calmed down pretty quick. I made Patrick hold her while it happened because I was afraid I would be a big baby and cry, but I made it through!

We are so happy that our little girl is doing well. We really couldn't have asked for more than that. We love her so much.

I bawled when we did Hailey's screening, but I've held it together for all the others.

Glad to hear that Joss is doing so good.

I bawled when they did Preston too. Rob had to leave the room so we didn't see him get teary. You'd think there'd be an easier way but...

Yea, I cried when Callie had to have her tests done too. But she also had jaundice so they had to do TONS of heel pricks... so sad.
