note to self: get new glasses

So I'm resting in my hospital bed early the morning after the baby is born, and they bring the little tyke in to eat. I realize that other than the information the he is a gigantic 8 lbs. 11 oz., I know nothing of his other measurements. It's quite dark in the room, but I'm much to tired and lazy to get up (and I'm feeding him), so I squint (in my old glasses) to read the stats on this little guy. I can see the weight clearly and notice some numbers written underneath the weight. I do not, however, notice the numbers written to the right of the weight as they sort of blend in with some symbol or picture directly beneath them. All I can see is the numbers beneath the weight and those not too terribly clearly. In my glasses, all I can read is what appears to be 13 3/4 inches. Do I notice the 20 1/2 inches to the right that is his correct height? No, I do not. All I can see is the 13 3/4 inches below the weight and infer that this is the length of my baby. And that is when the panic sets in. I have never heard of such a short baby in my entire life. I think I've maybe heard of a 17 incher, but usually they are around 18 to 20 inches long. Certainly not 13 3/4 inches. And that was when I knew that my 13 3/4 inch long 8 pound 11 ounce baby was actually a sumo wrestler baby. Fortunately, a few moments later when I got up to put him back in the isolette, I noticed that he was a more respectable 20 1/2 inches and decided I should probably get myself some new glasses.
