One doctor's appointment down.....One to go

I took Lily to see her pediatrician today. She weighs 20 lbs and is 31" tall. She is in the 75% for height and around 20% for weight. He was pleased with her growth and everything else about her. It was pure torture when they had to draw blood. The nurse tried one arm...inserting the needle, moving it around, then the next nurse and then the 3rd nurse with NO success. Of course she was screaming throughout it all and trying to bite me, the one who is holding her hand and caressing her head. I took my eyes off of her for one minute and she chomped down....ouch, that hurt! So, they took the needle out and I held her for a few minutes before they tried the other arm....YES, success. Six vials of blood were drawn. Now for the collection of 3 stool samples and we will be done. Sounds like fun, huh....NOT! Despite the long morning at the doctor, Lily has been her silly self today. Check her out in the video below. I have to say she LOVES to dance. Tomorrow is her surgeon's appointment for her cleft palate. Please keep her in your prayers. Not sure what this appointment will entail.
