Evie had her first doctor appointment today. She slept through the whole thing. She now weighs 7 lbs 13 oz. She has gained almost 8 ounces since she came home! She is 20 inches long. Doc said she looks great. Still a little residual jaundice, she looks a tad yellow, but no reason to treat it at this point as her numbers were good when she left the NICU. No pokes today. Her pediatrician has seen only one other collodion baby when she did her rotation in Grand Rapids. She did not treat that baby but I was kind of amazed she had actually seen it before. She had been filled in already by the NICU docs here so she was well aware of Evie's NICU stay. Her next visit is in two weeks.
Evie's skin is doing well, her arms, legs and face and head are clear at this point. She is still peeling in some areas and will likely peel again. Amelia did this as well, on her trunk mostly. The whole process takes a few months. So we wait and keep praying.
She just seems to get sweeter and sweeter everyday. Ford and I were reflecting today that it hasn't really sunk in yet...the fact that we have 2 girls now. Since her arrival, life has been so hectic and busy and rushed...we are looking forward to slowing down and settling into this life that God has planned out for us. Should be quite a ride. :)
