Rachelle,
Thanks so much for your advice; It sounds like Taylor is going through the same as me when I was a baby, my hip dysplasia was picked up at 14 months, with a combination of spica casts & metal braces for the next 18 months. I can not remember anything of it and whilst my parents were told I would need a hip replacement by the time I am 40, i've reached 27 and the hips are perfectly fine; and medical approach has developed so much I am sure, and hope that Taylor's only knowledge of this will be from photographs. Fingers crossed for Wednesday, we'll be thinking of you & look forward to hearing how it all goes.

If it is any help; Harrison is in a hip abduction brace now until his scan & 4 days in he really seems to have adjusted well with the times we take it off for nappy changes & bath time. Our problem is associating every time he cries with the discomfort of the brace and it is probably not the case!
We are able to get him in his car seat without any problems, but dont know if this is a good indicator for you as he is going to be a alot smaller than Taylor at only 9 weeks old.

Best of Luck for Wednesday I am sure it will be a special moment & a great start to the new year.
