Hey do you remember that time I said I was going to start posting once a week and then didn't? Me too! Well, in my last post I talked about how Brynlee is in a phase of terrible twos and it has only gotten worse. Just about everywhere we go results in me carrying a screaming, kicking, gagging to hold back vomit toddler - but I digress.
I've been busy.

I do, however, have something to finally write about other than toddler tantrums.
Something I've been on the fence about writing for some time, because 1. mom guilt and 2. I don't think we've really told anyone wants going on. But now is a good time as any!

When Balen was still a newborn and a couple months old we noticed he didn't have a soft spot and he had a pretty flat head in the back. I Googled everything under the sun, obviously, but my husband assured me everything was okay. And it totally is by the way, I guess I should mention.
I brought it to his pediatrician's attention a few times, but they said it was fine and that there was a tiny soft spot that I just couldn't really see. Yeah, okay. So feeling uneasy, I switched to a different pediatrician and wouldn't you know.. she pointed out he had no soft spot the first five minutes into her evaluation. She also had a slight concern about his head shape and later determined we needed to be referred to a specialist for a helmet.

And again, he's fine. The whole situation could of been way worse and he could of been diagnosed with  Craniosynostosis, which is what I was worried about since he had no soft spot, but he wasn't and we are very thankful for that. Instead it's just a simple case of plagiocephaly which may have just started in the womb and has gotten worse over time.
