24 Week Check-up
Dear Little George,
Daddy and Simon and I were all there to hear your healthy galloping heart beat at today's 24 week check-up. You are taller than your brother was at the same point: measuring 25 weeks instead of 24 (Simon started showing height at 28 weeks). Looks like our instincts to keep your potential great height in mind when making purchases are, so far, justified. No one has quite figured out what about Mama and Daddy leads to tall offspring: Mama is 5'4" and comes from a long line of shorties. Daddy is 5'11" and has some height in his family but nothing extreme. Also, all of Simon's height is in his torso while Daddy's family has a genetic predisposition for long legs. It is still possible Simon's height is a fluke. You may "even out" as this pregnancy progresses.
Love,
Mama
