We're home from our trip! We had a great time! It's going to take me 3 hours to blog about it because we did so much, so in the mean time I'll leave you with this.
I was emailed during our vacation by Stylin' Baby Helmets telling me all about their great products. I snuck a peek at the website between chasing Kieran around the hotel room and touring about DC. Oh my word, it's awesome! Why didn't someone think of these things sooner?
The hats are so stinkin' cute and the stickers and onesies are hilarious! I'm totally envious of all the mamas with helmeted girls because John doesn't like me when I put flowers and bows on Kieran just for a laugh.

Kieran got plastered...
We're home. We're plastered. We're back into waiting mode.
Kieran's helmet will be done in 2 weeks!
Our appointment went really well. We met with our orthotist, Trevor, and had a chat about what we were told by the pediatrician and what we've done in terms of positioning. He gave us the option of trying positioning for another 2 weeks and make our decision after that, or to just go ahead with things.
Another 2 weeks? Seriously, dude? After trying the positioning techniques for almost 2 months, what is another 2 weeks going to do for us? That means an extra trip to the big city, a day off work for John, and another 2 weeks of me biting my nails. Did you see my nails, Trevor? Did you?
So we were left alone to talk. But we already knew what we were going to do, so our talk lasted 3 seconds and we spent the next 9 minutes and 57 seconds bouncing our little dude and staring at the ugly yellow walls. That's right Sick Kids, your casting room walls are ugly.
The casting went really well. Except for this part;
And taking the cast off, which we didn't get a picture of, but it closely resembled the above picture, plus a cast and minus John trying to cram the sucky down Kieran's throat.
We got some awesome news that the helmet only needs to be worn for upwards of 18 hours a day, instead of the dreaded 23. Our little guy will get a bit of a break each day instead of just being free for tubby time.
So we head back on May 17th to pick it up and learn all about it and our real journey will begin. It's gonna be a long, hot summer, kiddo. Mommy apologizes profusely.
I'll upload some more pictures of the casting process to the 'Pictures' section. Oh and I know I said the helmet is ready in 2 weeks but May 17th is 3 weeks away...it's not because I can't add, it's because they're booked up for May 10th and are trying to bump someone out of their appointment to move us up. We're that important.
