Preemies

Large ears?

So, I was noticing today that DD has huge ears, compared to the size of her head. Is this a preemie thing? Meaning will her head grow into her ears?

Or, does she just have big ears? Which is weird, since DH and I have pretty standard sized ears, and no one in our families is rocking the large ear thing.

Re: Large ears?

  • Here is a pic of Gabe's ears.  I haven't noticed they look particularly large.  But, maybe I will now.  LOL!

  • Hmm... I don't think our boys have large ears.  I haven't heard that as one of the "preemie" things before.

  • My kids' hands and feet always look really big to me, and one nurse explained that babies grow "from the outside in"... meaning that when they hit a growth spurt, their outer parts (hands and feet and such) grow faster and then the rest of them catch up. Maybe she's just headed for a growth spurt?

    Hmmm...could be. Her feet and hands are also huge compared to the rest of her.

    Gabe looks so friggin cute!

    Here is her pic...I guess her ear size comparable to Gabe's? Maybe it's just a "baby" thing?

    I think her ears look normal sized.  They don;t look large to me.  Maybe it is the baldness that is throwing you off?
