On Tuesday, November 5th we took Lillian to the doctor for her 2 week well-visit. Lillian is also seeing Dr. Meryl Perlman, who has been Simon's doctor since he was born. We totally love her and have found her to be a great pediatrician. She saw Lillian in the hospital, saw her at the one week visit and then again at the 2 week visit. According to Dr Perlman, Lillian is a perfect 'text-book baby'. Lillian is either alert and looking around or she is eating or she is sleeping - she doesn't cry very often. Even when Lillian got her Hep B vaccine - a shot in her leg which we deferred from the hospital to her first doctor's visit so she'd be a bit bigger and more able to handle it - she cried for a second but literally before Alan could get her across the tiny room to comfort nurse she'd already stopped crying and was looking around again.
We started a page of Lillian's growth statistics, but below is a summary to date:
October 22, 2013: Birth 6 pounds 10 ounces
October 25, 2013: Leaving Hospital 6 pounds 2 ounces
October 29, 2013: 1 week well visit 6 pounds 9 ounces
November 5, 2013: 2 week well visit 7 pounds 3 ounces
