Love Cats
So, I went to a doctor today.
Can you guess what probably qualifies as at least #5 on “The Great Big List of Shit You Don’t Want to Hear Your OB Say?”
He does the sonogram machine thingy, measuring who knows what, as it all looks like nothing to me.
Then he clicks some things as says, “Oh… It’s got a BIG HEAD.”
I cracked up. “Wonderful…”
So, in celebration of the baby’s slightly ahead-of-the-curve cranium, have a bad 80’s video.
Just so that we are all aware, here, I’ve danced to this song in public. While sober. Really.

I was born almost nine pounds more than a couple weeks early. My head is so big that I have to special order hats. My wife is very, very worried about the prospect of giving birth to my kid when and if that happens.

Prenatal vitamins, they make babies huge.
Does she/he/it move around a lot?

Oh, it moves. My uterus is a private auditorium for the world’s future clog dancing champion.

My daughter’s head was about four weeks ahead of schedule. Luckily she came five weeks early. Her body’s now almost caught up (head 95%, height 85%), so even if your baby’s head is big, chances are everything will even out.

Heh, to this day my mom still cracks jokes about how big my head was compared to the rest of me when I was born. Hell, I can’t look at my baby pics without thinking, “damn, look at my head!”
And yes, I did eventually even out.

Well, it’s good to know that Big Heads are pretty common. Heh.

My first child had a head big enough to get stuck halfway out for a few minutes. The end result was a head shaped like a penis that nurses all over the hospital came to see. (it eventually straightend out just fine)

And yeah, that video used to be what me and my friends aspired to when we were in our little ahem music videos creation stage. I love the song, though. The Cure rules on so many levels.
Confession: With the lolcats thing going around, I sometimes find myself singing this song, but saying “Lolcats – Ba-dum Ba bum ba-dum ba dum-bum-bum. So wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully pretty!” 8^D

Well, if it make you feel any better, my kid’s head was so big that he had to be vacummed out. The docto was pulling so hard that the bed rolled over Jerry’s foot! I guess that is what happens when the kid weighs 10 lbs, 13 oz!

I knew another Amy that had to have her son vacuum extracted, but he was only 5 pounds…
