First pediatrician visit

We actually made it there on time for a 9:45 appointment in Little 5 Points. Amazing! As this was our first official outing, I learned we definitely need to give ourselves some extra time to get EVERYONE ready. I was trying to get Emmie dressed and this was the first of many times we had to put multiple outfits on her to find the right one. She is actually a little too small for most of her clothes right now. This will change fast. She has a couple outfits that fit her well. She will probably outgrow these in the next few weeks. About 30 minutes before we needed to leave Emmie needed to be nursed. It was speed nursing, as we had to get going to make it on time. She enjoyed the car ride, I think. She was wide awake for the trip and very alert for her doctor. She totally made a name for herself during her exam. As we were getting her naked and about to take off her diaper for the doctor, she blew it up. The loudest fluffer yet! Atleast the doctor knows what he is getting himself into with her. Haha! She got a clean bill of health. She now weighs 7 pounds. She weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces at birth and 6 pounds 7 ounces as we left the hospital. She is obviously eating well as she has gained about 8-9 ounces since then (dirty diaper may have added an ounce or 2). No shots yet. Those come at her 2 month visit. Our pediatrician is awesome. Dr. Victor Polizos. He is the only doctor in the practice. We got there, were the only ones in the waiting room, went right back and received such great attention. Worth the drive, which really isn't that bad. We go back in 1 month for a check up.
Getting ready to go. Mom and Dad were tired!
