Come One, Come All

Here's my sorry that I've been lacking in the blog department. Much has happened since "Bellybean." For starters, Jamie is now a one year old! He's also toddling around from place to place. He's still quite clumsy, but with his 80th percentile head teetering above his 10th percentile body, who could blame him? Those numbers were from his nine month check-up. His 12 month will be next wednesday. I still expect his noggin to be above average. He's sick right now and we had to go to the hospital. The doctor there said he has a large head and when i told him the percentile he was like, "And is someone monitoring that?!" What?! I assume his pediatrician is. Apparently, I have a freak show baby. Maybe I could get rich if I enrolled him in a Circus Tots program. "Come and see the Living Bobblehead! You won't believe your eyes!" I mean, clearly my son has a sizeable head, but I like to think that it's there to house his sizeable brain. Thanks Doc, for giving me a complex, as if I don't have enough of those already. I'm just thankful that Jamie isn't old enough for such insecurities.







His birthday celebration was wonderful. He tried to eat his cake with a spoon. The only part he truly got messy with were the cookie ears (it was a monkey cake). Now my baby is officially a toddler and I adore him more everyday. Just when I think "You're so cute I can't handle it," he gets even cuter.





As for the current pregnancy, I've lost weight so far and I pretty much feel like the infamous pumpkin, unless I'm asleep. Please pray that it ends this time. Not the pregnancy, obviously that will end when it's time. I mean the misery. I know I got through it once already, but I'd really prefer a happier experience this time. Loathing pregnancy doesn't really make it any easier.

I can't believe that doctor said that! Love the pumpkin pic! It describes exactly how I felt for a while. Hopefully, yours will get better :)

Okay maybe it's because I don't have children...or maybe I'm just slow...but why are the doctor's making a big deal about the size of his head? Is it a medical thing or a cosmetic thing or ??? They're going to give him a complex if they keep that all that up!

well a large head could be hydracephalic which means there's water on the brain. but his head doesn't look disproportionate. it's just big compared to his body!

I hope you feel better. I'd take morning sickness over PCOS infertility any day though. I'm sure I'll end up being one of those feel-like-I'm-dying pregnant women someday, and I'll thank Gd every day for my vomit, lol. Ew, I know.

About time you blogged! You can't leave your fan base hanging like that. Did they ever say what was wrong with Jamie...other than sick and big head. You should have told the doctor his head's big for all the great photos he takes! I swear that kid is the most photogenic kid on earth. Anyhow, hope you start feeling better soon. Your first trimester is over soon and things should start looking up!
