Hi all, sorry I have been MIA the past weeks... just been a bit busy with christmas coming up ever so fast, and so many doctors appointments with my 3 kids. i tell ya what, boys are a handful... yesterday my oldest boy jack put our cat in the washing machine and turned it on! luckily i walked in just after and saw the cat going round and round (the water didnt go in for some unknown reason but lucky it didnt!!) then today my youngest boy ben, hit his brother in the face for using his pillow and blanket, and gave his big brother a big black eye) was fun walking down the street today with Jack having a black eye. A few of my friends stopped me and asked what happened, and they had a big of a giggle when i told them that his little brother did it to him eek...

Lahni is doing so well in her new brace, she is so happy (she always has been) but she is a lot happier now... esp at nappy chances and bath times!! she kicks her little legs with delight, and she laughed a few times we go for her next ultrasound on the 6th of Jan, and then we see her doctor straight after, I am so hoping she gets out of the brace then. Because if things haven't improved for her left hip (it only had 47.6% coverage) she'll have to go back into the pavlik harness... i know it will be for the best but i just dont like the pavlik harness.. i got so many stares, and whispers when she was in it.. even got asked how i broke her legs.... im enjoying this brace cos people usually know its because of her hips.. not that i broke her legs like the pavlik harness does.

crosswig - i had DD in a snugly when i think she was 3 weeks old (i asked her doctor before i got it) and he said its fine to have her in it... as long as her legs are apart it doesn't matter, and she was in the pavlik harness.

Corelly - sorry you went through a hard time... heres hoping for fantastic news on Monday, I'll be thinking about you... just like everyone else in the awesome group

chazanlow - goodluck for your appointment on tuesday... i agree with what wiggs suggested and bring a support person with you... its really hard seeing your lil one go into the brace/harness (which ever), i cried my eyes out when my DD was getting put into it... but it gets easier, and you don't seem to notice it after a while. It took my a good 24 hours to come to terms with it. But will be thinking of you, let us know how you go

MummyNaomi - Good work with your handy work with your DS's carseat hehe, i had a lil bit of a giggle when i read about the saw to the carseat hehehe. thanks for that.

Dee99 - Thankyou for sharing your journey with us, its good to know that after treatment as a bub everything works out for them
