So for my lack of posts. Life has been a bit crazy here on our end. Since January we have had lots of things happen. One of which is that we found out that our little guy has to get a Cranial Band. Most of you know what those are. And most of you would refer to them as helmets. Sweet baby James just never loved tummy time and seems to have a softer head in the back. Thus enters in the band. In November our doctor told us to keep an eye on his head and to keep him off the back of his head. So we did that, but it was a little too late. So when we went for his 4 months check up in January they told us it was time to get the band. I waited to post on it till now because it was a bit of an emotional journey for me to go on. As a mom you have a view on what things will look like and this was not apart of what I thought life would look like for James. You think a million things, but mainly struggled with the way people will look at my little guy. After lots of time with the Lord and some really sweet friends encouraging me I am ready to conquer the helmet! :) This is just a part of James' story, it does not define who he is!
We went a week ago for our first consultation at Cranial Technologies and they were wonderful. James did great too. He talked the whole time and just smiled. Helped make it all much easier. The doctor said that he is the perfect candidate for the band. She thinks that he will only need to wear the helmet for 2 months. Which is really not bad at all. We go back this week for the dsi picture of his head. This will help them create a mold of buggy's head to make the band. It takes two weeks to make the band. And then he'll have to wear the band for 2 months. He has to wear the band for 23 hours every day. He can have it off for an hour for bath time.
My plan is to blog about our journey. It's one that I don't want to forget and would love if me writing about this helped any other mom's going through the same thing with their child!
On another note here are some new pictures of my love bug:
Miss G, nothing would ever or could ever change the fact that he is a beautiful baby! :)
