We Did It

I had such a hard time when I learned that Jadyn had Plagiocephaly and would need a helmet to help shape her head. It wasn't a huge shock since her head got pretty flat on her right side when she lying in her hospital bed for so long. But I thought that by me working diligently on the left side when she got home this would help shape it. I was wrong. All it did was make it very odd shape.

The first time we went to the Dr to get her head scanned, I walked in and saw a baby wearing one and walked straight back to the car telling Cade that I couldn't do it. I was worried about how she would handle it but also was afraid of how it would make her look and all the stares and questions I would receive. I guess it was somewhat of a pride issue. I joked that when we got the helmet I was going into hiding for a few months. I didn't think that I would take many pictures and definitely wouldn't blog about it. But that has all changed somehow. Ever since she started wearing it I have embraced it and CUTE little face of hers!

She has handled it like a champ! She wears it 23 hours a day and doesn't seem bothered by it at all (except for the first several nights, she would wake up like 5 or 6 times but would go right back to sleep). She now thankfully pretty much sleeps through the night again. I learned that I don't even mind the stares either. I get asked whats wrong with her head about a millions times from children, especially at church, but I would be curious if I were them too.

So here's to 2 1/2 more months of this thing. Bring it on!
