I remember the new students and residents that would rotate through. Most folks have no idea humans can be so small, and seeing how it affected even them was telling. I remember Dylan’s first day I was able to take my wedding ring and it could have fit all the way up to his shoulder without touching him. Of course I didn’t actually do this because we weren’t allowed to touch him for several days. But I never forgot how small that was.

After NICU I was assigned to OB/GYN and delivered babies.

First week I was like WTF is with all these giant babies. They were normal sized babies. I just wasn’t used to it yet.

Yeah, I still have such a bad gauge of how big kids should be because mine were and are still so small compared to their peers.

EXACTLY! For awhile a normal sized baby looked like Andre the Giants kid to me!
