    I had 2 bubs with 38cm heads, one was 34 and omg was he the easiest to have lol and one at 35cm. I'm hoping this one is "normal" at about 34\35cm.

    Mind you the 2 with 38cm heads were 56 and 57cm long.

    Wow DS was bigger than I thought.

    Head 37cms
    Length 52.5cms
    Weight 3.83kg (8lb 7oz)

    Someone told me he was a "pinhead". I never thought this person had brains in her head...yet another example to confirm it.
