"I don't want to give you my blood."

My poor baby girl had to endure the newborn screening THREE times! This is where they draw blood to be sent off for testing. The first time was when she was 1 week old. The doctor tried her arm and then two different spots on her heel. However, when it was sent in it was rejected for not having enough blood. So, then on Monday of this week we tried it again at the doctor's office. She couldn't get enough blood again. The doctor finally sent me to the hospital lab. So, today we went to the hospital to have it done. After two heel pricks and 15 minutes of screaming, they finally filled up that page that they needed with her blood. Hopefully, this one will be okay and we won't have to do it again. And, hopefully after all of this, everything will come back normal and show that we have a healthy baby girl. We love you sweetheart and Mommy is sorry you had to do that silly screening three times.
