(taken with my phone) Jemma had her first doctor's appointment yesterday. The doctor was a bit concerned about her bilirubin levels so my poor baby had to be stuck in her little heel again. Thankfully, her levels were low enough that there are no further interventions needed! This is the first of my babies to not need any extra help reducing those levels so that excites me.
