Harris has been very busy this week going from one doctor's appointment to the other. On Monday Harris had his first visit to the pediatrician, who made Mommy and Daddy very happy by reporting that other t
hen being "petite" Harris looked great - especially for a baby who had been through so much. I was even more exciting that Harris had gained 2-3ozs since he left the hospital, which was the exact right weight gain rate and means he is weighing in just under 6lbs at 5lbs 15ozs.
Today Harris visited the eye doctor - who reported that his once premature eyes looked "normal." Unfortunately this diagnosis occurred after a very upsetting examination involving multiple eye drops and forcefully holding little man's eyes open. SO needless to say, unlike a the pediatricians office where Harris felt at home and allowed a complete examination with only a slight whine, today Harris screamed and cried - Mommy was heartbroken! As soon as the exam was over Harris fell asleep - a deep sleep that allowed Mommy and Daddy to stop for a quick lunch at the diner, with our little man in tow, before he even opened his eyes. Harris spent the rest of the day settling back and relaxing.
