Doctor visit

We had our wellness checkup today and fun it was not! Pearl had two shots, a TB test (another needle), blood drawn (yes, another needle) and a urine sample (don't even ask how that is done on an infant!) Fortunately, she recovered quickly. Tomorrow she goes back to "read" the TB test and give a stool sample to check for parasites.

She weighs 17 lbs. 3 oz., her height is 27 1/2 inches and her head is 17 1/2 inches. She is on the 5th percentile for both height and weight. She loves to eat so I am sure we can improve those numbers.

Other than that, Pearl seems to be getting used to her surroundings a little better. But naps and bedtime still are big challenges. She likes the kids' club at the gym and Carli carts her around like the proud big sister.
