Hi all

Congrats to Olivia on being harness free! And Becky - thank goodness you don't need to worry anymore.

An update on Scarlett - she is doing extremely well in her harness now. She has her good and bad days like any baby but I don't think it has anything to do with the harness. She has learnt to kick her legs out to the sides which she seems quite pleased about. She has also developed a new ear piercing noise (more like a squeal) that she graces us with all the time now.

We have our next ultrasound and appointment with the orth surgeon on 18 Dec to see how she is progressing. I am hoping we might be able to take the harness of for bathing after that. Fingers crossed. I am also hoping I can take it off a bit during the day by christmas as we will be staying at my in-laws house at the beach! We'll have to wait and see.

I also met another mum through my playgroup who's baby just came out of a harness after 2 months. It has been great to actually meet another baby who has come through the other side and seems totally normal.

Scarlett had a photo with Santa today - she looks more happy than he does!
