Apparently, our web-host is down, and my pictures aren't working now! :-( I can still post some here, but the yuckydog-hosted site is not working. Here's one of Felicity with her daddy!

We had an appointment with the ped this morning to check Felicity's weight (we came home from the hospital around noon yesterday!). She was down to 7lb 1oz, but she had just pooped when she was weighed. I fed her a bit while waiting for the doctor, and we reweighed before we left - 7lb 5oz. So, I think they're going to let that go for now. I was afraid that they would recommend supplementing - which I think is ridiculous this early! My milk is in though so I suspect the next time we get weighed, she'll have gained well. Her head circumference and length had increased so she's definitely growing!

However, the doctor also thought she should have her billirubin levels check since she looks a little jaundice. To us, she looks a lot less jaundice than the other two did at this point, and they never even had their levels checked! But, we headed off to the lab after the appointment. They had to prick her poor little foot four times to get enough blood for the 4 vials. :( She really didn't seem to mind too much though - she slept through most of it in my arms!

UPDATE: We got the results back, and her levels were fine. BUT the doctor wants to repeat it tomorrow!! We have to go all the way to the hospital for that rather than just to the local lab. Her poor little footsies! I guess I would rather them be proactive than miss something, but this seems unnecessary to me. I guess that's why I'm not a doctor. ;-)

On another note, Kait finally got that tooth out! James "pulled" it out for her on Wednesday night. I guess it was about ready to fall out. She was so worried for days about it hurting, but she never even knew it was out until he said he got it. She looks so cute.
