Eliza's first check-up.

Eliza went to the doctor for the first time yesterday. She was so excited she peed all over the doctor's table within seconds of having her temperature taken. Already the comedian. She's up to 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 20.5 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile for height and weight and the 75th for head circumference. She takes after her daddy for sure!

Unfortunately, Eliza tends to get a little bit of a blue tint around her mouth and eyes at times. The doctor was concerned enough to check her oxygen levels. They were fairly bad in the beginning, but there were questions as to the accuracy of those readings. A little later and once the baby was warmer, her oxygen level was better but still not perfect. The doctor was still concerned enough to order some heart tests and a chest x-ray. Off we went to the hospital where Eliza behaved like a champ while having some very grown-up medical procedures.

They're sending the heart tests off to Louisville for reading and we should hear back about those soon. The chest x-ray is being sent to Eliza's doctor once the radiologist looks at it. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

Otherwise, Eliza is very healthy, happy and keeping us up all night. I've tried to get her to take an interest in her swing, but it mainly just makes her cry. She does seem to like Eeyore, though. Here she is staring intently at the Eeyore on her mobile:


Here's a phone picture of Eliza when she's wide awake. She's always so alert and checking out the world.
