to infinity and beyond...

last night we picked up Landon't helmet... he was a trooper through the whole process since it was WAY past his bedtime when we arrived. we were told not to start the helmet until this morning... so at nine o'clock this morning... i put on his helmet.

last night i cried on the ride home. i tried to stay strong at the helmet facility but once we hit the road, the tears streamed. they streamed because i was sad to think that my little guy will be in a helmet 23 hours a day for the next four-six months. that means most of his little baby life. most pictures taken of him will be in a helmet.

i know i am blessed beyond belief with the issues that we have... everything so far we have learned is fixable...(although not sure about the hearing)  but it is still stressful and frustrating. however, i am also very blessed with a happy, smiley baby. he has not a care in the world about this helmet being on his head. he has gone about his day the way he usually does. my little love bug...
(our little Buzz Lightyear)
so here is hoping for a nice looking noggin' at the end of the helmet road.

    My daughter (my first baby) was born with hip displasia, (meaning her hip sockets weren't formed and her hip bones were sort of free-floating). She had to spend 4 months in a crazy harness that kept her legs locked in place (like she was doing a sumo squat) for 24 hours a day, then for another few months while she slept. She got fixed without needing surgery, which was great, but the idea that I couldn't really cuddle my brand new little one about killed me. I had a lot of people tell me that it wasn't a big deal, which was true, but to me it was, such a big deal. So yeah. This is your situation and it's hard and it sucks. The good news is that you WILL get used to it, and if you've got a fair sense of humor, you WILL have some great stories to tell his girlfriends some day. :-)
