Zoey's Helmet - Week 1

It has officially been a week since Zoey got her helmet.  The first day she wore it for an hour on / hour off.  We needed to look for red spots that didn't go away.  That would mean the helmet was pressing too hard on her head, and would need to be adjusted.  She didn't have any issues there. On Wednesday (day two) she wore it for longer periods of time, and that night she went to bed with it on. She fell asleep just fine, but woke up at 5 am, and wouldn't go back to sleep.  She has been slowing getting back to waking up at 6:30, but both Nate and I realized how good we have it having two babies that sleep for 12 hours each night.

 She is such a trooper.  She is still as happy as can be, and doesn't cry when we put her helmet on.  I am so proud of her.  I feel like I am being just as much of a trooper... :)  I am fine with it for the most part, although it is a little harder to snuggle into her neck for a kiss.

We went in to the Dr. today for the first week check-in.  All they did was make sure she was tolerating it well enough.  I had them trim a little around her ears too, because one side was going over her ear a little.  

Could she be any cuter? Nope.  I love that the only place that her hair sticks up in the only place there is a hole in her helmet.  (And no - we do not use product in her hair.  You may laugh, but we have definitely been asked that question.)  We will go again in two weeks.  I am hoping that they do some measurements there. Because, it is most likely just me hoping, but I feel like there have been some small changes in her head in just a week.

Okay, these pictures really make it look like a lot has changed... maybe I will have to try to get another bath picture... so her hair can't hide the flat.

As you can see... I still have not decorated her Helmet.  I need to get on that....
