I'm home!

Got home Monday night, late. Had a perinatologist appointment today, which went fine.

Jenny, over the weekend I read an article which made me think of you and Drew. It said that American pediatricians use growth charts which were originally developed in the 1970s, based on formula-fed babies, who grow TOO FAST. So now the WHO has put out new growth charts with the correct percentiles for breastfed babies. Now I can't for the life of me remember where I saw the article, but you can download the charts at http://www.parentingjoy.com/content/view/189/1/.
