Birthmark

The day after we came home from the hospital I suddenly noticed that Jessica had this purple mark on the palm of her right hand. When I went to the doctor's office for her post-hospital check-up (just before her 2 week...) I asked her doctor about it. He said it was a port-wine stain birthmark and she would probably have it for life.

I think it's so cute! Here's the conversation between Jer and I when I told him about it...

Me: Did you know that our daughter has a birthmark on her right hand?
Jer: What?!? Now no one's going to want to hold her hand when she's older!
Me: That's a good thing! We don't want boys to hold her hand. We'll put a fake one on her left hand too.
Jer: Well, maybe some nice returned missionary will want to hold her hand someday...
Me: If he's a nice returned missionary he won't care about the birthmark. In fact, that's how we'll know he's a winner. If he doesn't care about her birth mark we'll know he's ok.
Jer: Maybe...

Regardless, bottom line is, her birthmark is really cute!
