Charlie also had really long limbs from the time he was born and was just kind of uncoordinated, whereas my cousin's daughter was small and compact. @pD,
Ha!

@ASDmomNC,

I wonder what, if any, significance was given to the actual preganancy factors. e.g., single artery-single vessel cord, IVF or other fertility enhancement vs. natural conception, maternal age, other outstanding gestational characteristics —diabetes, HELP, placenta previa, etc...
