Oh man, we thought for sure Zach was going to be sporting a helmet similar to Karis' due to torticolis. We didn't have a good experience with Karis' and my prayer was that somehow Zach wouldn't need one, but inside I thought that was impossible. His left side was so flat from always wanting to lie on it despite our valiant efforts. His pediatrician (the one besides his daddy) said she didn't know how we would get out of it either...so we had our first appointment with his physical therapist...I was dreading the day. She showed me some exercises to increase his right side movement and told me a few things to buy to assist his right side lying activities. She said we would watch his head measurements to make sure they are getting better, but don't expect anything to change for 3-6 months. That appointment was 2 weeks ago. This week's appointment brought incredible news! He has full range of motion on both sides and the difference of "head flatness" went from 10 mm to 5 mm!!! Can you believe it?! God answered prayers in a miraculous way...a way I totally didn't expect. Needless to say, a warm moose is the only thing that he will be wearing on his head!

Yay! That is a huge praise. I can't believe how big he's getting already. Can't wait to meet him in a few weeks!
