Helmet Time

Well, we all went to see Dr. Arin Green today in Peabody, MA about Jude and Petra's head situation. Keep in mind that the pediatrician's office staff said their case was mild and the place "probably wouldn't recommend a helmet." Maybe that's because they don't want all their babies coming in with helmets on?! Dr. Green who sees hundreds of babies with flat heads every year observed Jude and Petra and said their situation is on the high end of moderate~ on a scale of mild, moderate, and severe. And while he left the decision up to us, he said "if they were my kids I'd helmet them." And we definately are! I wouldn't want to live with a flat head!!! Fortunately, they will probably only wear them for 3 months. Oh! and they won't have to trim or touch Jude's hair!! Yeah! (not that you'll be able to see much of it for a while) ha ha Dr. Green also states up to 1 in 6 children have this situation!

After we got home I made another decision I've been wrestling with for a few weeks: Keep my hair long or go short? Yes, I know, very profound. One day I would say, "yes, time for that bob," and the next, "no, gonna stay long, maybe do more layers." After consulting with my awesome hairstylist (Tina at Blush), I decided short. I returned to a haircut I wore in my 20's off and on and I'm glad I did. It's a classic bob cut. I guess you'll just have to see it........... :)
