Today we saw our pediatric cardiologist for the second time. When we arrived for Hattie's chest was X-Ray, Chris and I donned lead vests and sat on the table to hold her arms and legs down. She was calm the whole time, just looked around with wide eyes. Then we went to the doctor's office and found out that she has gained 1 pound and 12 ounces in 6 weeks! She weighed 8 lbs! It was very exciting, especially since we've had some breastfeeding challenges lately.
Hattie's EKG was a more difficult test, she had to lie very still because muscle movement interferes with the electrode's readings. She was getting hungry and the nurse had to keep retaking the test. We decided to try feeding Hattie while she laid on the table, which caused the electrodes to be bumped off Hattie's chest. The nurse had to reattach them while Hattie was latched on, causing discomfort for us all. Finally though, we all settled in and we were able to get a good reading.
