miller’s two week appointment

>Friday, August 20

We saw the nurse practitioner, Kathy, for Miller’s 2 week appointment. Miller did great! He weighed 9 lbs 5.5 ounces (more than his birth weight) and was 22 3/4 inches long. Miller had developed a blister on his upper lip and Kathy explained that it was from sucking and was completely normal. Miller’s umbilical cord had fallen off so Kathy checked to make sure that it was healing properly. She also checked his circumcision. Miller had some adhesion that she was able to fix and instructed us to use vaseline for a couple of days to keep it from adhering again. We were concerned that Miller always laid with his head to the left, so Kathy checked to make sure that he wasn’t developing more neck muscle on one side. She also went over the vaccination schedule with us and gave us some information to look over on the different vaccines. Miller is very healthy and our next appointment won’t be until he is 2 months old.
