Re: Max saw the Pediatrician today

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

Congratulations on what sounds like a really reassuring appt. I know

what you mean about getting focussed on one thing. I find myself

seeing Hope's head shape all the time now, and you almost forget how

gorgeous they are, round or not! Ive also seen the photos of Max, and

he is adorable!

Hope that neuro appt goes well too.

Amy,

I'm so glad to hear how well the pediatrician's visit went; it's so

nice to hear how happy you were afterwards. I agree that it's hard to

appreciate the rest of the rounding out when the forehead is still

bossed; that's been my problem, too. It's great that you got

an independent observer to point out what you'd missed.

Thank you for the congratulations on Conor's graduation. Before you

know it, you'll be telling us that Max has graduated, too! Good

things are happening!
