Justin the Helmet Baby

So, I took Ethan and Justin in for their well-child visits yesterday. Ethan is completely, totally, and 100% healthy, and holding steady at about 30 lbs. He's just above average in both height and weight. Woohoo!!

Justin, though healthy in every other aspect, will most likely have to wear a special helmet to help reshape his "abnormal" head. We've known that his head is less than perfectly round, but it has gotten better, and I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but it hasn't improved enough. Also, the doctor pointed out that it's not just the side of his head, but that his right eye and right cheek are a little off-center. I hadn't noticed it because he always tilts his head to one side, but once his doctor pointed it out...well, it's true. I know it's not really that big of a deal, it's like braces for his head, but it makes me sad. No one likes to hear that their baby isn't perfect. Thankfully it's a cosmetic thing, and not a health thing, I guess I'll just have to get over my pride. Also, our current insurance runs out in about 2 weeks, so we have to figure something out. I'm not sure what this procedure will cost, but I hear it's very, very expensive. Anyways, I'll let you know how it all turns out!
