Baby's First Doctor Visit

Maybe you've seen this email forward:
Baby's First Doctor Visit

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room,
waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam.
The doctor arrived, and examined the baby,
checked his weight, and being a little concerned,
asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
'Breast-fed,' she replied.
'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.
She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and
rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional
and detailed examination.
Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said,
'No wonder this baby is underweight.
You don't have any milk.'
I know,' she said,
'I'm his Grandma,
but I'm glad I came.'
Our baby's first doctor's visit was today. Here's how she measured up. She is now 15lbs, 7oz and 26 inches long. Her head circumference is 16 1/4. She is at the 50th percentile for length and weight. We had a student in the room with us during our appointment. Poor girl, I had to break her in as to how the "other side" does things!
