Good News And Bad News...
Posted: 07-24-06 13:55pm

Good news:

so for the first time yesterday I felt butterfly movements in my belly. It was so cool! Lets me know my lil poppet is doing fine. I'm getting so impatient for another scan. It won't be for a while yet though.


Also logans head is still improving. I took it off over the weekend as he had a fever and it so hot here but there has still been some improvement- yay!




bad news:

layla tripped over and smacked her head off the corner of the table. Blood was everywhere and I was screaming. I rushed her straight to hospital and they said she is ok doesn't need stiches and should hopefully not scar. They didn't even dress it, they said it heals better in the open air.


I freaked so much it is the worst feeling in the world when something happens to your child. It looks really bad and has started bruising round they eye itself but she doesn't seem bothered at all.

It seems like when our baby's get hurt that we are hurting more than they are, she is a little doll, you can't see much of him. Plus one on the way, gosh you will have your hands full!
All the best!

hiya sorry I never wrote an explanation. Lol. He basically has a condition known as plagiocephaly which is where the head is more dominant (sticks out) at one side. His head is (was) completely flat at the back too instead of rounded. Some babies get it from lying too much in bouncers, swings etc but logan was born with it. They reckon he was laid funny in my womb.

He has to wear the starband for 23 hours a day and it moulds it back into place...

We had to fund it ourselves as it is classed as cosmetic and my doctor just told me to grow his hair long to cover it! Grrr that got me angry.

This is the star band:


he's doing so well and its getting to a 'normal' shape now.

Haha yeah he is a really calm baby. He only cries when hungry/over tired. He sleeps right through the night with it no problems. Its just unfortunate that he has it on right over summer. He's always dressed in just his nappy now.

Wow girl what a big improvement yeah. Sorry to hear about your lil princess. Last summer my lil man tripped over my stupid mil shoes and hit the center of his forehead on the corner of our brick fireplace( a sichening sound that I still can not get out of my head ) and punctured it blood gushed every where he needed 7-8 stitches I cried more than he did and he was 2 at the time. Yeah to the butterfly grow baby grow.
