enjoy your time with Thomas and the gang!

Well, if I was in a hospital and possibly if I had a mw, I would receive stitches. But after checking out the tear myself, it's only skin that tore and it will heal. I may have my mw friend check me on Tuesday when she comes to do the PKU on Thomas, just to get her professional opinion, but I'm feeling a lot better than I was on day 1, that's for sure.

I measured his head -- 14.25 inches.
Max, my first, was 9lb 8oz and had a 13 inch head, Rachel was 7lb 14oz w/ a 13.5 in head. Rachel is the only one I had such minor tearing with -- I didn't even need one stitch.

Congratulations!

My third was born with black hair -- not a huge amount, but after two blonde, wispy-haired babies, it was really different!
