Banged Up

Jillian got to take home some good-sized scratches on her head from during her time at the hospital. First, in order to better measure her heartbeat while she was in Heather's tummy, they hooked up a fetal scalp monitor to the top of her head ... it had a small hook that went under the skin to keep it attached throughout the birth. That accounted for several of the larger marks on her head. Second, there were several attempts by several doctors to break Heather's water, which involved using a plastic hook to scrape and pull on the sac ... this is evident by many long scratches on her head (which are a little more difficult to see here). Jillian probably didn't appreciate all the prodding and poking, but she seems to have dealt with it OK.
