Karen - Hugs to you. Hope you can get some rest soon and I've got my fingers crossed that Best and Less hurry up with their sleeping bags! I'd send you mine, but Liam's probably too big for them!
Naomi - That's great that your husband can take long service to look after Bailey. Must be an absolute load off your mind! Good on Bailey for trying to crawl! DD has figured out how to lift her tummy up off the ground and then she pushes herself backwards. They'll both be off and running as soon as these braces come off! DH told his company what he was after and they wanted the weekend to think about it, so hopefully we'll know tonight. If he gets what he's asking for, it'll mean almost $200 extra a week and we can start to breathe again! My old work keep asking me to come back, but the pay is crap and so not worth it. Before, I enjoyed the job and we weren't stressed about the pay, but now, that's the only reason I'd go back, but I don't see any point in going back there, because it won't actually help us financially. We made the decision before DD was born that I'd be a stay at home mum and I'm hoping that these medical bills stop soon so we can stick to our plan! Just gotta keep thinking positive, right? THE BRACE WILL COME OFF IN FEB, THE BRACE WILL COME OFF IN FEB. LOL!!
And DD is progressing well. She makes us laugh daily and she is just a happy happy baby. Last night we went out to a friends house, and we were there till about midnight, and DD just watched everyone, chatted, giggled and then fell asleep amongst the loud sounds of gutair hero!! There were quite a few people there that I hadn't met before, and everyone just kept commenting on how good she is, and I do really feel blessed, brace or no brace. And thinking about that senseless car accident, where five teenagers died, just a few minutes away from my house, makes me again know how special she is and that in a few years this hip dysplasia journey will be a mere dot. Well, that's what I'm telling myself today, anyway!
