Man or Ape?
Posted on November 2, 2006 - Filed Under Humor, Life, Pregnancy
I am doing this in the name of humor, so no hate mail please. Now that we have that out of the way…
I’ve been commenting to Toni about how Alexander has orangutan hair and how he reminds me of a baby orangutan every time I look at him.
To prove my point I have created an image with three baby orangutans and one baby Alexander.
Can you find the baby human in this picture?
I know this is a tough one so here is a hint: The human picture is not color!
Amazing how difficult it was to find Alexander without that hint isn’t it?

Alexander has his first doctor appointment today and it was not a pleasant one. Today was circumcision day! It was a quick procedure and it was not easy to sit through. The doctor asked if I wanted to be in the room while she performed the procedure and I declined. I figure going through it once in your life is enough, no reason to go through it again.
Alexander has been turning a little yellow which is normal for most newborns. We noticed that he just seemed to be showing more yellow than normal so the doctor took another blood sample to check his bilirubin levels. His levels are higher than normal and in the 18 range which is pretty high. We’ve been instructed to stop breastfeeding for 12 hours and put him on formula before we take him in for another test tomorrow. Let’s hope it isn’t serious.
Alexander has grown a 1/2 inch since birth and now measures 20 and 1/2 inches. His weight dropped a little bit since birth which is normal, and he is starting to gain weight now that things are starting to settle down. He eats quite a bit during the day and sleeps through most of the night for a solid 6 to 8 hours. We are all getting sleep and it’s been wonderful.

At least Alexander has hair! Recall someones baby pictures - hmmmm? I am sure you are going to get slapped with some nasty comments for this little “wild kingdom” display.
Hey I had hair when I was born, it just wasn’t on my head!
