Just for fun....Any of you noticed a correlation to your own or your hubby's head size and your baby's? My husband is a big guy (6') and has an enormous head, and I'm very petite (5' 2"). My first born had (has...) a huge head. All the rest (5) have had more "normal" head sizes.
Anyone notice a correlation?
My first and third have the same head shape as their dad. My middle has a pumpkin head like my MIL... lol...
My head is small and my husband has a pumpkin head. Thank the LORD, our son has a perfectly medium sized head. :)
My husband has a huge head and our daughter has a huge head. They were actually worried about hydrocephalus when she was an infant because her head was so huge! Her head circumference has always been off the charts. I even needed a C-section because her head got stuck!
Most of my kids have big heads, but it didn't come from my hubby or me, though it is genetic. My son's head was over 15" (15.25"?) at birth. He was also 10 lbs 11 oz! (I'm 5'4" almost and weigh 117 lbs post babies...so his huge size was a shock!). Turns out my dad was 10 lbs 14 oz at birth, so it seems somewhat genetic...and unfair...hehe. I was bigger bellied than most women with twins!
All my other babies have had big heads at birth. One of them has grown into her head, and it is much more proportional. My others still have lollipop heads compared to their bodies and their heads are big percentile-wise compared to their bodies. I have noticed my MIL has a huge noggin' (looks good on her), so does my dad, and so does my sister. So, it's definitely in the genes...just not something my hubby and I have ourselves. It's funny to see it, though. I think it's cute...though not the most fun thing to push out when having a baby;-)
My oldest has a big head, it is an ongoing joke when he does something ridiculous I ask him what he is using that big head for. My youngest has a small head but he has small everything I think I have cursed him with "smallness" I am 5'2 my hubby is just over 6' and yes he has a large head.
My head is a bit larger than normal (although you wouldn't be able to tell; it is just apparent when I try to buy hats ;-). My hubby has a normal size head. Our son has a big head! He was always above 90% in head size when they measured it at his checkups, and still has a big head! Big head = big brains! I hope! LOL
Well my eldest daughter has a big head and my 21 month old son has a big head as well. They get it from me unfortunately. It runs in my family. My dad has a big head and so did his dad. Luckily though it's not real obvious by just looking at us - just don't give us one of your hats to put on.....lol. My middle child however has a normal size head. Her father's head is smaller than mine.
My daughters have normal size heads (although my 7 year old has my huge mouth!!)... my son has my big fat head... AND my big fat mouth ;)
omg so funny - i have a giant head, my husbands is normal sized, looks small compared to me - my son has my head!! i blame it on all the hair lol....
