Jenna's First Week

WOW!  We can't believe our little girl is one week old.  We are enjoying every minute and learning so much about her.  Especially the little noises she makes and what they mean.  Her first outing was to the US Embassy.  She had a thorough check done by our Health Unit Doc.  She got top marks regarding her health.  The physicians here in Honduras do not perform metabolic screenings on infants so the Health Unit is checking into having a kit sent her, perform the test and send back to the states.  Her weight was 6 lbs 13 ozs.  Next we were off to the photography place to have Jenna's passport photo taken.  That was interesting.........she was so sound asleep and I had to wake her.  However, her photo depicts a very happy little girl despite the fact she was crying one second before and after that "perfect" shot was taken :)

On Dec 16 we have an appt with the Consular Section to submit all of Jenna's paperwork such as passports (travel & diplomatic), birth abroad and social security.  Apparently it takes forever to even get an appt b/c it is only done at certain times and days of the week.  We got lucky when we walked in to discuss what needed to be done, someone called and cancelled their appt.  Timing is everything :)

My brother turns 45 tomorrow (Pearl Harbor Day) so we went to dinner last night.  We had a wonderful time and a great meal!!!  Jenna was so good.  We have been out twice to dinner with her and she just sleeps and when she is awake she just looks around and takes everything in.
