Harper at 2 weeks...

So today we had Harpers two week check up. She has been a joy to have! She sleeps a lot at night and rarely cries. What more could I ask for? So her stats for today 8 lbs 9 oz and 20.5 inches tall. Keep in mind she was only 8 lbs 1 oz when she was born so she is doing very well weight wise.

Unfortunately the doctor  had one big concern today which sent us on a trip to the local children's hospital. Her belly. The doctor was very concerned that her abdomen was distended with no apparent cause. She eats, drinks, poops and pees ok so I was baffled. I did notice she was gassy last night but didn't think much of it. Anyways, she wanted to send us right away for some X-rays and even had another pediatrician come in and take a look at her. She mentioned that she sees a lot of kids and that her belly was just really big and was 'bugging' her and wanted to send us for this test and that we would go from there. She said it could be nothing but better safe than sorry.

Silly me thinking it was going to be a quick trip to the doctor...wasn't prepared. Didn't have any diapers/wipes/snacks for either of the kids. Oh well. We survived.

Charlie met us at the doctor and we all drove to the Childrens Medical Center for our X-rays. Olivia was patient enough... for a toddler anyways. I would have been a wreck if Charlie hadn't been there helping out though! He watched her while Harper was getting her x rays. We then had to wait a little longer in the waiting area while the radiologist read the X-rays and got back to our pediatrician. She called us back about 40 minutes after the X-ray and said that it was nothing major that she was just full of gas. Thank the Lord! I did have a moment in X-ray when I wondered what would happen if something was wrong and broke down a little but thankfully everything turned out well. We stopped and picked up some gas drops on the way home and we will be giving the lactation consultant a call tomorrow to see if they have any recommendations for this gassiness.

Sweet precious Harper! I don't know what I would do without her! The girls love her, it is so fun to watch Olivia and Ava interact with her! Olivia knows who she is, when asked where Harper is she points to her! So fun! Ava loves holding her is just thrilled to be a big sister again!

Love my new baby girl!
