My babies have big heads.  I've known this.  The pediatrician told me this.  I wasn't worried.  EVER.  Until I took Blake to the neonatal follow up clinic.  Turns out...his head is really big.  Off the charts big.  So the doctor recommended a head ultrasound. What!?  I almost declined.  I remember when the babies were in the NICU and the doctors asked me then if I wanted a head ultrasound.  (Babies born less than 34 weeks automatically get one, my babies were exactly 34 weeks).  I declined.  I didn't want one.  

                                                                       

                                                           

So you can imagine my frustration and apprehension when the neonatalogist strongly recommends that Blake gets one.  I began to cry.  I told her that Beckett has a big head too.  She responded with the fact that while that may be the case, Beckett didn't have the history of sepsis.  So....yesterday we headed down to Kosair.  Just me and Blake.  He was in great spirits....I was a wreck.

The tech was fantastic.  She put gel all over Blakey's head and then watched his ventricles come alive on the screen.  It was very quick.  Then she left the room.  And in walked the radiologist.  Literally I felt the bile in the back of my throat.  But the doctor quickly broke into a grin and told me that my son has a beautiful brain. Perfect, in fact.  He does however have quite a large head....(must get that from his father) :)
