Since Danny was 12 pounds, I had to click on this link!
What really got me was the quote from the hospital official that said, "Obviously, this baby was born by Caesarean section." Must be nice to be in a hospital where the medical staff has the brain cells to do a responsible delivery of a big baby. I wish I had had such a hospital.
Thanks for the link!

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

My thoughts exactly. I was 11 lb. 14 oz.
What a cute baby, so nice to see the baby is healthy and not injured.

Re: This is one big baby
wow - thanks Rich - can't imagine - Britt was the biggest newborn at the time - looked like she was 3 months old instead of a new one! She didn't fit into the newborn diapers or clothes and she was over 10 lbs. She looked so big compared to the other newborns in the hospital.
I remember her pediatrician telling me that by the time she was two years old - her 'genes' would take over and she would even out in what her body type was supposed to be. She was 'off the charts' for years - but today she is a skinny kid, average height and weight (maybe under) - but I remember being worried that she would always be bigger than your average bear! LOL!
I am glad that some doctors understand and that the little guy is alright. Thanks,
Christy

Thanks for calling me a littl dot!!!
I was one of the taller children in 1st Grade. But that did not last long the other children grew and I did not. I still bless the one girl, in school, who was shorter than me. We always had to line up in size places and I was so happy not to be first anymore... LOL...
But at least I am still 5'3"... have not shrunk yet!
My brother once told me I was short because they ran out of tall gene's by the time I came along. LOL Kath
