Introducing Myself!

-
Hey, everyone! My name is Jessica.  I am a wife to my sweet hubby, mother to one little stud named Remington and a sweet pup named Bandit.  They are my whole world.  I have a Bachelors Degree in Family Life and Human Development from Southern Utah University, so you could say I love families and babies/children! 


I can't even count how many times I have started a blog and not followed through with it.  I have never been one to really put myself out there and go outside of my comfort zone, but I figured now is as good a time as any to try again.  If at first you don't succeed, try again, right? 

This quarantine has really given me the time to sit and think about my life.  What is my purpose? What do I need to change? What are the blessings around me?  

One of the things that I want to change is not expressing the things that I am thinking and feeling, and this blog is one of the ways I can do that.  I have a lot of thoughts that run through my mind about family, marriage, life, babies, faith, etc.  Those are the things that are most important in my life right now, and they are things I am always thinking about and wanting to talk to others about!  I spend a lot of time at home, and this is a way for me to talk about the things that are on my mind! 

This blog will be a place where I "journal".  I will talk about my husband, and my sweet little boy.  I will talk about my pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum experiences.  I will talk about breastfeeding and formula feeding my son, and all the challenges and fun times that we have had with him.  I hope that I can reach other moms who have gone or are going through similar experiences with their own babies and children!  

I want to talk about finding miracles and blessings, and climbing the mountains that are in our lives, because we all have them.  Sometimes it is easier to get through them when we talk about it with other people.  Noticing the blessings around us while climbing our mountains can make the climb a little less heavy.   

So join me on this fun journey!  Share this blog with those who might be interested, and I really hope it can help you all in some way!

8 Things about Cranial Helmets

-
Imagine you're walking around Walmart or the park and you see an infant with a cranial helmet on their head and you wonder why they are wearing it.  I was this person.  I never could figure out why an infant would need a cranial helmet and I always assumed it was something that had to do with the brain which isn't true.  So why do some babies wear cranial helmets? Typically a baby will wear a cranial helmet if they have some sort of flat spot on their head that is larger than normal (because no one's head is perfectly shaped) which is called Plagiocephaly, or because there is an abnormal fusion of the skull bones which result in a misshapen skull that restricts brain growth which is called Craniosynostosis. Plagiocephaly is much more common out of the two. My son's pediatrician noticed my son's flat spot at around two months old, but he wanted to try and correct it naturally before referring me to an Orthotist to get fitted for a cranial helmet.  Fixing it n...
