I am anxiously awaiting the upcoming weekend. I am attending a baby shower where the expecting mama is baking a GIRL. You know what that means, I GET TO BUY PINK THINGS!And it is always nice to have the hubby around too. But other than that no big plans. We are back to school clothes shopping for Jason. They wear uniforms, so no biggie there. He needs some new summer and fall items too.
I found out yesterday at Ryan's check up that he has a condition called plagiocephaly. Don't worry, the word is the scariest part of the whole diagnosis, I promise. Basically he just has an abnormal head shape, but Jacques is his father, so I mean what do you expect.. KIDDING! Most likely, his condition was due to restriction in the womb. He is a twin, and there was two munchkins in there occupying my belly. Or plagiocephaly can also often results from external forces applied to the soft infant skull.
His treatments will consist of constant trips to Charlotte, North Carolina, (2 hours away) to check the growth and correction of his skull. He will have his head molded and then he will be fitted with a custom helmet that he will be required to wear for 24 hours a day, except for baths. He will most likely be in the helmet for 6 or more months. We will find out more next week during his first appointments. This is totally correctable and we are lucky to catch it while he is so young. Obviously he is 100% healthy and a totally happy (momma's) boy, he just has an odd noggin.
I think we will keep him around : )

My cousin had twin girls and one of his daughters had to wear a helmet too. She had it on 23 hours a day for about 6 months. She looks great and her head is fine too.
OMG hes gonna look so darn cute. Glad to hear it was caught early!
