Hands, photo by Harold Davis.

Dr. Michael Katz, who delivered Katie Rose, suggests that the “whole story” is in the size of Phyllis’s hands. If you compare the photo taken today (above) of Katie Rose in her 8.5 pound magnificence with a shot taken a few weeks after her birth (below), the size of Phyllis’s hands obviously has not changed. But the ratio of the size of Phyllis’s hands to Katie’s size is quite different.
