the unobservant mom

I know I've inspected my kids head to toe hundreds of times. My job is to look for the nuances in babies. So I am stunned that it took me until yesterday to realize Amelia has a spot (birthmark? beauty mark? I'm not sure of the derm-lingo) on the back of her head that is the size of the end of my thumb! I turned her around to face Melissa and there it was staring at me! Granted, it is located where her hair is the thickest. I know it hasn't always been there, I just don't know when it showed up. Melissa had to reassure me twice that it looked fine, I think I just freaked myself out since I'd never noticed it before.
