There's no way of knowing if that's the same Maxine, of course, but if it was, one could cook up a whole bunch of interesting scenarios from these little snippets of info! 
Also had a look through my "baby book" last night, and it turns out that MHM gave me a present for the occasion of my birth.
I do still have a little white knit cap that was mine that is the size that would only fit a newborn. Here it is!
Heh, I can thank my packrat mom for all these items surviving. (And my own apparently inherited packrat traits for not throwing this old stuff away!)

Thank you Scott for this priceless post and sharing some of your family's history.
I had to smile when I saw the white knit cap.
