First Doctors Visit For Elyse

Question?

How does it make you feel when someone hurts your baby girl, even if it is a good reason.

Well, today was Elyse's first doctor's visit since being born. She is 5 days old and we had to go and see the Pediatrician.

She weighs about the same as when she was discharged, so that was good.

She also had to redo her Bilirubin Test because her jaundice score was higher than hoped for when she was discharged. Not too high, but high enough to cause some worry from the doctor. 
After we saw Dr. O'very for Elyse's checkup they sent in the nurse to draw blood for the test.
I had to hold Elyse so she could prick her with a needle in her tiny little foot. It made her cry so much, that I started crying. She didn't bleed enough on that foot for the test so they had to poke her in the other foot, as well. The nurse accidentally dumped some of the blood that she got from the first foot onto my jeans. Camille held our sweet girl for the second foot. Our little girl is a tough little thing! Then Daddy had to go to work. :(


After Daddy got home from work Elyse got her first bath.
Grandma Crook helped (more like showed us how cause Camille and I had no idea what we were doing).
Thanks Jackie!



After Camille fed Elyse, she and her mom went to Walmart to take some duplicate gifts back and get some things, and allowed me to have some Daddy time with Elyse.
It consisted of Elyse sleeping in my lap while I was on the computer.
