I almost cried

Little Toni had her drs appt and he had to do blood work to confirm the bilirubin levels are normal and that the jaundice is a thing of the past. So he had me hold her and after warming up her foot, he took a needle and stuck her in her heel and had to squeeze blood samples out of her. OH... MY... GOODNESS... I have NEVER heard her cry that like that before. And I've never seen tears! As soon as he poked her, she let out a howl of cries and would not let up the whole time he was trying to squeeze blood drops out onto the paper thing to send out for testing. I almost cried, I really almost did. It took everything in me to avoid having to cry right there in front of her doctor. Her cry was so heartbreaking. My eyes were definitely welling up. At least I was able to hang my head low as I was kissing her on the head trying to console her. My poor baby. My nose was already about to drip. After that, she still had that whimper after the cries. I've never heard that from her before either. She slept REALLY well after that only partially waking up to eat. At least she doesn't have to go back for another two months, but then again that is when she gets her shots. I don't know if I can stand to hear her cry that way again.

Other than that, everything else is going well. She has gained weight from 6 lobs 12 oz to 7 lbs 3oz and went from 19" to 19 3/4". She has some long legs! I think she may end up being really tall. She looks different from when she was in the hospital already. Her color has come in and she is maybe a tad darker than me, but not as much as Junior. The puffiness has gone down and so you can see how long her eyelashes are. Although she has my nose, it's not as flat as I originally thought; there IS a bridge! Her cheeks... oh man her cheeks! She must be storing milk in there for the winter b/c her cheeks are so full and round!

I finally got me a post partum belt. I hope it helps my belly go down!
