Just got back from Hunter's six month appoinment. He got his shots today. He did a lot better than last time, didn't cry as much. I still hate seeing them poke my poor little man. He weighs a whopping 21 pounds 6 ounces and is 30 inches long! He's getting so big! I spoke to the doctor about baby's head. It is kinda flat on one side more so than the other. I brought it up at his 4 month appoinment and they told me to just keep turning his head the other way when he sleeps. I did that and it improved a bit, but it's still not as round as it should be. I mean, it's not super noticeable but I see it. The doctor says he doesn't think it has anything to do with his brain since he's developing fine, sitting by himself, holding his head, rolling over, etc. We have to take him in for an ultrasound tomorrow and make sure everything is okay. I'm so scared that something will be wrong. It may just be because he slept on one side for so long that it hasn't rounded out yet. He has improved since he was born. He didn't want to turn his head to that side then but now he does it all the time. Maybe I'm just worrying because he's my baby and this is a scary thing to go through. He said he would call a specialist in San Francisco and see what he has to say. If they see something wrong from the ultrasound they may have to do a CAT Scan. I want to avoid that at all costs. He said there is radiation involved with the CAT Scan and that 1 in 1000 babies will develope cancer as a result from it. Praying to god that everything will be just fine.
So I called my mom and told her and of course she told me he's fine. "Cill, he's doing everything he's supposed to be doing. Sitting, 'talking', reaching for things, he's fine." I really hope so. Lydia (Steven's mom) is trying to go with us. I don't mind. I'm just hoping they tell me everything is okay. Pray for us, I will update when I can.
