The traffic was thick this morning. We were up and traveling by 7. (Well, I was up, she had just decided to go to sleep a few hours earlier, so she was in a deep sleep.) We had an early morning appointment across town. Seeing the pediatrician for a well-check, shots and second PKU was a relief. (I had previously made an appointment at home, thinking that we would be there in plenty of time. When we missed that date last week- the scheduling department understandably asked that I refrain from making another appointment till we got home.) I really liked the Doctor. Getting to talk with her was meaningful to me- because she was the physician who saw her at birth. She was informative and interested in Gabrielle's digestion and constipation issues.
Our little Gabrielle is now 20.5 inches long, and weighs 8 pounds, 4 ounces. A healthy growing girl. She got a shot, and heel stick for a few blood tests. I was amused at the bandage she received.
I am more than ready to go home. We trust God with all the details, and are praying for travel clearance ASAP. It's hard to believe that our baby is over three weeks old! I can't wait to have my girls together in the same room!!
