Hi Everyone,

Im here!! Ive been a little caught up last week. I took Elly for her 6 mth check and found out that she has a problem with her left hip. The abnormality is fairly noticable when pointed out and it is causing her left leg to be around 1-2cm shorter than the right.

SOOOOO, i was upset on Tues when i found out, i took her straight to a GP and he has referred me off to the pediatrician, cant get into him until 31st May so im getting some xrays done tomorrow and taking them back to the GP to see if her hip is severe enough to be seen earlier.

Elly doesnt roll yet and hates tummy time, the nurse said that her hip could be holding her back. Im not tooo distressed over it as i know it is a fairly common thing and Elly is such a happy baby, its doesnt seem to be bothering her. Im glad they have picked it up now as she could have to wear a splint or plaster and id hate her to be mobile while it is on, it would be so frustrating for her.

On a brighter note, we just got back from Straddie, we took our boat and jetski over with 3 other couples over to a holiday house that we hire out just near couran cove. It was very relaxing. BBQ's every night and a couple of drinks with a great bunch of people, Elly was the only child, but everyone kept her entertained.

Elly and I will be missing in action for the week as DH is on hols and we are going to do family stuff. Take care everyone, speak soon.

Lots a hugs
