First Doctor's Visit

This morning we took Marcus to visit Dr. Palant, our pediatrician. Marcus was alert and so great during the whole exam (with the exception of peeing on mommy when the diaper came off for the weight check!). We weren't super clear on what Marcus' weight was when we left the hospital. I was told that he had lost 10 oz. but we couldn't find any indication of his weight on the discharge papers that the hospital pediatrician had given to us. We just went with thought that he was 5 lbs. 15 oz. on Tuesday when we left the hospital and today he weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. The thought being that he was on the upswing.

Dr. Palant was also at a loss for what the lesions under his bottom lip where. We even took a photograph for him to pass along to his colleagues at Children's Hospital. Like us, the doctor wasn't that concerned about it since Marcus was healthy and unaffected by it. It was kind of funny that Dr. Palant wanted to see us again in 4 days for a weight check...something that is usually just done with a nurse. All these doctors seemed a bit excited to see an issue that they don't have an answer for!
