7 Months (and a bit old) and our first family trip.
We now have a 7 month old and many apologies for not posting after we had our scan. We left for a family trip a couple of days later and it completely slipped my mind.
The scan went swimmingly, she was very good of course. The tech said it was good that we could notice a difference. We started at a 15mm offset on her flat spot and the scan measured we're down to 11mm. That's about the only one of the numbers I remember and that makes sense to me. The tech said he had hoped for more, but at least we had some growth and hopefully this month will be a big growing month. He didn't do much adjusting, just shaved a little from her right ear where it was rubbing. He didn't need to take anything from the inside which is good, need to keep that pressure on the sticky-out bit. He said if we are extra lucky we might only need one more month but more than likely it'll be at least 2 more. That's not too bad, and since the first one went by so quickly, we left in good spirits.
Two days later we set off for our first family road trip. Daddy had some business in St. George so the Radish and I went along since we have some family down there too. The car trip down was fine, a little bit of crankiness in the beginning, a nap and then she played the rest of the way. I sat in the back as entertainment. The only issue we were worried about is that it's quite a bit hotter down there than here. Luckily our hotel had fabulous air conditioning. Mommy and Daddy practically froze all night. The Radish slept in her Pack and Play. It was challenging to be in the same room as her, it meant we had to sit in the dark and whisper from 7pm on. She slept mostly well, but did sound very sad and lost when she did wake up. While Daddy did his thing during the day, we took early morning walks, went shopping, went swimming, visited her Aunt, Uncle and Grandpa, and just generally relaxed. It was actually quite lovely. She was complimented all the time by strangers about how lovely and happy she always was. All the praise must have gone to her head because she had the most shocking night of sleep ever the night before we were due to head home. It was probably too much excitement and being in a strange place.
So we headed home with a very tired baby and fortunately she took a wonderful long nap right from the start. It made the trip quite easy. She only got a little bit grumpy about 20 minutes from home and I can't say I blame her. I was pretty sick of being in the car by then. All in all, she was just great, but seems to be really glad to be home and in her own bed. I got home and realized I hadn't taken any pictures what so ever. How awful of me! But I do have a cute couple to show off and they'll just have to do!
