Hi Bertie,

I feel like you're reading my mind and saying all the things I'm feeling!

My DD has been out of the spica for six weeks now and into the rhino cruiser full time. It's horrible at each nappy change, I've been looking at the uneven folds of skin, fretting away that its all going horribly wrong. But on Monday, we had an xray and check up with our surgeon and the hip that was under-developed is pretty much perfect, and the one that had the open reduction is still very shallow, but beginning to grow! DD now can have the brace off for an hour in the morning and an hour at night and the folds of skin being uneven didn't concern the surgeon. So we're back again in six weeks for another xray to see how we're travelling.

DD is LOVING the two hours out of the brace and we make it so that the last time it comes off is right before her bath so she doesn't get cranky about it going on. Now, if only those rotten teeth would come through...!!

Hope everyone is travelling okay and all the bubs and mums are hanging in there!
