Chris and I have been concerned about Amelia's flat head for awhile now, so today we took her to the pediatrician to see if he thought we should see a specialist about it. After examining her, the doctor gave us the number of a specialist with Gillette's Children's hospitals. We're guessing Amelia will be diagnosed with deformational plagiocephaly, which isn't as scary as it sounds. It's basically a flat head from lying in one position. We were hoping her head would round out after she started sitting up, but it hasn't quite as much as it should have. Most likely, Amelia will have to wear a CranioCap for a few months to round out her head. It's a painless helmet that helps the head become a rounder shape. We'll give more updates on Friday after her appointment.
