Dear Lexi,
The day after you were born we took you back to the birthing center so they could check on you. They did a hearing test, weighed you, and then did a heel prick. The heel prick was awful for both of us. She poked your heel and then squeezed a lot of blood out. They had to fill up five dime size circles with blood. You were screaming and crying and your little chin was quivering. It absolutely broke Mommy's and daddy's hearts.You cried on the way home from the doctor that day. Two weeks later I took you to get another heel prick. This time I nursed you while you got your heel prick. You were still mad, but eating made it a little better. Mommy was sad that she had to make you go through all of that pain. Besides the heel pricks, your first month on Earth was pretty relaxed and pain free.
Love,
Mommy
