First Doctor Appointment

August 12, 2008
Jaden had her first doctor appointment yesterday with a pediatrician. She's gained one whole pound since Gotcha Day and is 30 3/4" tall. She's in the 10th percentile for head circumference and height but way below the chart for weight. He said she's doing great but she needs to gain weight. (Why can't a doctor tell ME that???) As for her not walking and the sideways foot, he's pretty sure she'll be running around the house in the next 2 months. After checking out her foot he said she simply needs to build up her muscle tone. I thought she only needed 1 immunization but she ended up getting 3 as well as a TB test and blood drawn, the last being the worst. Her next appointment is with the eye doctor on Thursday.

She smiles a lot now and just seems like a whole different baby. As you can see, she's become so much better with her daddy who adores her. Sunday evening, Tiffanie, Daryl and Peyton brought dinner and visited with us. It was so nice to share the evening with a family that is/has been on the same journey as us. I was incredibly moved when I found out Tiffanie dedicated her August 10th blog entry to her visit with us. By the way, Gracyn will be uniting with her mom on September 1st!!!
