There's always a doctor visit involved before we are allowed to leave the state. For no other reason than the airlines want to be cleared of any responsibility. 

  

So Tatum had her first visit at five days old

 . It was interesting to find out that she was measured incorrectly at the hospital. She only measured 19 inches. The nurse did it twice to be sure. So instead of 21...19. Otherwise, Tatum was a trooper for her first appt.
