All Natural

This is what you look like after you accidentally give birth with no pain relief to an eight and a half pound infant (who the doctor was predicting was going to be sub-average in weight).

F.S. H. born 10/14/10
12:47 am
8 lbs 11 oz*
20 inches

F is calm, loving/snuggly, and manages loud noises (aka "Hip") well. He likes to eat and sleep. He likes a pacifier. He really likes his mommy which is a good thing all things considered.

*There seems to be confusion on whether F was 8 lbs 8 oz or 8 lbs 11 oz. He was 8 lbs 10 oz at the pediatricians office on Monday and so the latter is the case since it is rare a newborn will gain 5 oz in just a few days.
