LOL! I’m 5′4.5″ and when I was giving birth to son #1 and he was crowning, I kept insisting that he somehow had a foot in my lungs. They didn’t believe me until they saw him and the doctor said, I guess that really was his feet! LOL!

He’s not 4 until June but is well into aged 4-5 years clothing. Yeah he’s still very tall and looks a lot older than he is! He towers over a fair few of his nursery friends
The midwives measured him twice as they didnt believe that a baby that huge could fit into someone as short as me (Im 5′3)lol
Even when the midwife came to visit us when we got home she remeasured him saying the hospital staff must have got it wrong…. She soon took it back!
He was super tall but super skinny too

Nemma- Oh my goodness! That’s REALLY long! Is he still really big for his age?

SUUUUUREEEEE it wasn’t you! ;D

Hi Wife- LOL! That sounds fun!

What’s the url of your blog?

I am very familiar with the hospital baby LoJacks-especially since when we had Janie it was broken. About every 20 minutes the alarms would go off and the doors would slam shut and you’d get trapped in your room or in little boxed off areas in the hallway.

Good times.

I’m glad you’re back-I’ve been hoping for a new blog for a while.

Of course I also have ulterior motives…would you be up for letting me interview you by email for my new little blog? Check it out and drop me an email if you’re interested.

Jack never fitted into his newborn stuff. He was 9lbs half an ounce but was so tall he was really skinny, apparently the average babys about 53cms long, Jack was 59!!!!! W=I remember bursting into tears when after 40 hours of contractions resulting in an emergancy section the midwife decided she’s have to cut the feet off his little new baby outfit lol

As for LoJack, we had something similar I think its a brilliant idea! We had something similar when I had my two, it was a tag that fitted inside thier clothing, brilliant idea until you got a sleep deprived new mum who’d taken it out the clothes when she was changing the baby and had forgotten to put it back in and just stuffed it in her dressing gown pocket lol

(Not that I know ffrom experience either! lol;) )

My son was 10 pounds when he was born. I heard someone at he hospital ask “I wonder why they had to bring that baby back to the hospital?” the day after he was born.

Of course I am pressuring you to blog. DO you have any idea how boring the blogosphere has gotten lately? I blame you for not setting a good example.

LOL! I’m seriously considering LoJacking son #1. And I’ll need some sort of voice and sound.

Maggie was born at home, and it would have cost way to much to install the LoJack solution to our house. Although it might have had knock on uses for Bart now

So I was at the sucky hospital is what you’re all saying then?! Son #1 was 9+ lbs. and I know what you mean. He wore the newborn size for like, 11 days. Everyone thought he was several months old. He didn’t even lose weight in the hospital, he gained!

That is hilarious!!!

Punky did have a bracelet that set off alarms if he left the hospital floor. (not that I would know that it worked….we didn’t have to test it..but there was no highjacking of our Jack! He was too big at 11 lbs! People wanted an infant…not a 3 month old!)

WELCOME BACK!

Girl, where have you been?! The hospital for my 12 year old had lowjack or a form of…

Supposedly they hid sensors in diapers and bracelets since they had a baby stolen at that hospital at Berkeley the year before we had our eldest.

Glad to see you blogging again.

I’m thinking Steve way want to take a close look at any presents he gets from you in the near future. At least those that are clothing or likely to be carried with him on trips.
