As Natalie is starting the 18th week of wearing her star band, I’m a little disappointed to be told today at our appointment that she will be wearing it for at least 6 more. It’s not unexpected, though. She’s growing very slowly now but not without progress in the star band so we’ll keep doing it. Several of her numbers at today’s checkup were within normal limits but her anterior symmetry(front of the face) number could still come up a little more.
I usually see the cross section of the head that just shows the shape in general so didn’t realize that her ears were pretty far off from symmetrical. This scan shows where her ears were on day 1 in red and where they are today in blue. Pretty cool to see the progress over the last 4 1/2 months.
For those that are interested, here’s the section I usually come home with. It shows Day 1 in red and today in blue.
And here’s a nice round baby head shot! Keep on growing, Natalie!
