My Mom and I both visit the doctor…I was so brave.

Dear Mom and Dad, Well this was a big day. My Michigan pediatrician and I met for the first time. He was very nice, and very gentle. Nana says he has been taking care of little princess’ for 30 years and it shows cause he was sooooo good. He has all kinds of helpers, and I once again was waited on hand and foot. I also got weighed today. I am 10lbs. 12oz. and he says to tell you what a good job you have done with me these past ten weeks. I am growing and doing so good. He says my heart sounds good and I will see the pediatric cardiologist at Children’s Hospital in the next weeks to confirm all the same things we already know… which is I am awesome!
I think getting weighed was the best part of the day since I GOT TO BE NAKED, no diaper even…so I was smiling. The sad part is, that fun did in fact come to an end, as I had to get five immunizations. (FIVE, YIKES!). Thankfully one was oral, and I was able to drink it. The nurse says that many babies cannot do this easily they have trouble swallowing, but not me… I WAS A ROCK STAR… and Aunt Arri took a picture to prove it with Nana’s cell phone. You can’t really see it, but I took special care to wear my tee shirt that says mommy love me, and I think Nana was willing to try and put me into two of them just to have one that said Daddy loves me, but wisely decided to forgo that idea since she once again had me bundled up like an Eskimo baby… and two tee shirts may have made me melt.
I will not lie, I don’t like shots… and yes, there were a few tears, but they were brief. Nana says that I am brave as mom and dad. The doc also says it is time to try a new formula so I can do something about the little “tummy” issues I’ve been having. Nana got the new stuff on the way home and I have eaten it twice… it is even better than my other formula.. and I hope it does the trick. It will be a few days before we know.
You and I both had appointments mom, and I hope yours went good. I need you to take really good care of yourself so Nana doesn’t worry about you and we can be together again soon. I love you both very much, and you two would be sooooo proud of your princess… I ‘AM’ ARMY strong….
Love always,
Guillianna
Dear Mom and Dad, I am doing so good. You would both be so proud. Thank you mom for making me feel so much better before my trip. The butt paste you used, made my little princess bottom all better! My tummy seems so much better. I did not get sick today, and at at every feeding I ate all of my formula. Nana says she doesn’t mind my baby burp breath either. She says she is going to bottle it, and save it just for dad cause daddy knows his princess always smells like roses! 
Dear Mom and Dad, I tried to get to this letter before midnight, but with all my travels, I didn’t quite make it. I am safely in Michigan. Crazy huh… this morning I was a Texan, for lunch I was Georgian, and now… the people here say “MICHIGANDER”…. or if you can believe it, a “Michiganian” . Don’t you believe that for a second… you guys know I am just plain PRINCESS. I slept from Fort Hood all the way to Altanta… (like a baby ha ha) and everyone on the plane did in fact recognize me as a Princess…. had a good lunch and was off on another plane. This time, I sat up and we watched television, and looked around the entire trip…. and you know what I didn’t even cry once…. partially because, I am so awesome, and also because if I even started to remind everyone just who the princess is… Pops got up and we walked around showing my cute self off… next thing you know I was in the land of COLD. Wow…. let me just tell you… it was a bit chilly in Michigan but mom prepared me well and I had everything I needed.
