NEED an answer - any mums with circumcised baby boys - please!

Any mums with circumcised baby boys - do any of your babies have a "hidden penis"? My 8-month-old was circumcised at 1 week (when he was still quite skinny) and then rapidly gained weight (breast-fed). He is quite, quite chubby, and his little penis is hiding in the pubic fat pad. I can easily push down beside it and make it pop out, and apparently it's normal-sized (I looked up normal measurements), but when it hides it looks like he's got a little button instead! I've asked some people and they say it's normal and his penis will come out of hiding when he slims down. His physician has seen it at his well-baby-check-ups and hasn't said anything about it so I assume she's not concerned... have any of you experienced this?

DS isn't circumcised, but I post on a lot of US boards (where around half the boys are) and what you describe sounds entirely normal from what the mothers of circumcised sons say on there.
