A Health Scare

 Dearest Harper,

We noticed, with bathing you, that there was a lump under your left nipple. We took you to your primary care, who felt it in there as well. He was concerned it might be a breast bud, like perhaps you were starting puberty WAY too early. He referred us to a pediatric endocrinologist, who also felt it in there, and ordered some lab work to see if your hormone levels were too high. You had to get your blood drawn for the first time, and that was rough. It's awful for a parent to have to hold down a terrified child. But the labs came back normal, and we had a follow up with the endocrinologist (which was super funny hearing you try to say!) which deemed you still in the clear, so you're still super healthy and there's nothing to worry about! Thank goodness!

 Stay healthy, my beautiful, happy little girl. 

I love you,

Mommy
