Amelia's first doctors visit

Today Amelia had her first appointment. Due to the fact that she was eating well and her labs were so good, we were allowed to go two weeks before our fist visit. This was a blessing because I don't think we could have gotten our act together before then. We were able to spend a few minutes at my office visiting all the girls and the Doctors. Amelia's outfit was a hit! The tennis shoes that Natalie got her matched perfectly the outfit one of my Talladega patients gave her. After that we were off to the doctor. Our pediatrician is Dr. Walley at Redmont Pediatrics. This is also were Shelley and Dana work so I feel right at home there and already know most of the staff. After turning in our new patient paperwork and stripping baby girl down we were off to the scales. A whopping 8 lbs 14 oz, a pound weight gain and 22 inches long. All was checked out and we were given a clean bill of health. Next visit three weeks.

County Line

This weekend was a two day convention for Christian Harmony at County Line Church. Micheal's family for those who don't know are very active in shape note singing. Mostly we go to Sacred Harp singings (you can hear it on the Cold Mountain cd, or our Ipods if you are interested). Today's was similar but different. I promise that makes sense to me. Back to the point at hand, it was Amelia's first trip to the church. She wasn't to fond of sitting in the front with the singing but was fine sitting further in the back. We attempted to get the kids in their matching outfits to have pictures made but between a newborn, toddler, and a sleepy two year old this was the best we could do.

Coming home

Today we came home from the hospital. I in my new pajamas and Amelia in the outfit her father picked out. Head to toe Crimson Tide. I mean hat, onsie, booties, and blanket. Needless to say she matched the car too (since it has been covered in tags, stickers, and flags). On the way home we stopped at Estes so that Micheal could pick up insurance papers and the office could come out and take a peek. The rest of the ride was bumpy for me but uneventful for her. When we got home Granna and lunch were waiting for us.

And baby makes three......

After much ado, Amelia Claire Jett made her way into our world on September 15th, 2008. She came here weighing 7 lbs and 15 oz. She was 21 inches long and had a head circumference of 14 1/4th inches. I decided to start this blog to help family and friends, near and far stay in touch with us and Amelia.
