anthony and i both had to leave work early today because we had an appointment to see a neurosurgeon at children's hospital of LA. sounds scary, right? we just wanted to get his head assessed, since so many people have been telling us that his head looks flat. we asked his doctor about it at his appointment last month, so she referred us to the specialist just in case. the doctor today wasn't too concerned. he said there was "significant flattening" but felt pretty confident that it would round out more in time. we have another follow-up in six weeks, so keep your fingers crossed that his pancake head improves by then. it's all cosmetic, anyway, so we're happy to know it won't affect his brain development either way. i'm glad we at least we took the step to find out what we're dealing with. and the best part of the trip? the view! we were on the 13th floor so we had a beautiful view of LA.
