Official Data

So, ok. Perhaps I'm a little obsessive. Just a tad. I like to think it was more to do with a passage I read in a book that was given to me that asked, "how did your baby score on the Apgar text?" The WHAT-gar test?

I realized I had been given NO test results at the hospital where he was born. Apparently doctors do a bunch of tests and labs and they never give the results to the parents. What is UP with that? I inquired. After leaving messages for weeks on a general mailbox b/c you can't get a human in the records department... I had to fax a request and authorization and then wait 3 weeks to be mailed the results. The net? I don't understand half of the information I received. There are notes from the doctors in some sand script that is impossible to read. But this is loud and clear -- it's about the baby's percentages on weight, height, head circumference.

Official medical conclusion? LARGE Head. Hilarious!! He's also large in weight for that matter, but we knew that in pregnancy. The head diagnosis explains perhaps why he had such a hard time coming out (poor me!). Chris says people with large heads become successful or wealthy or something like that. I'm cool with that!
