It feels good to get stuff off your chest every once in a while!!!<br />I can relate with how people are (and just how rude they can be!!!) about staring & asking questions. Even though it's totally different people stare at Jenna and ask about her strawberry all.the.time. I've even been asked why I put that on her head, why did I drop her, and what I burned her with. Seriously.<br />You are such a good mama following all the rules!!!! Callie is blessed to have such great parents!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435629690349183016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402303390145550744.post-50742056928442102102011-06-06T16:11:22.436-05:002011-06-06T16:11:22.436-05:00Laura... how did I miss this?!

I went through many many years of insane doctor appointments with my son... he has many medical trials... but appears fairly normal to the every day Joe.. it is VERY hard to watch your little one go through hard stuff... and even though there are happy moments in every day despite the medical challenges... there are still sad moments in every day too... and that IS OK!! It is funny how folks don't realize you need to grieve a bit ... they would too if they were facing challenges with a little one.... =) Sending you hugs with my prayers!! OH.. I am so glad you have a friend who went through it!! that helps!! =)Seizing My Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245085711105059612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402303390145550744.post-87703377939018514232011-06-05T22:06:00.638-05:002011-06-05T22:06:00.638-05:00First of all congrats on that beautiful gift from ...First of all congrats on that beautiful gift from God!

While I don't know what it's like to have a harness on your baby, when Bridge was 6 months old she had glasses and an eye patch - in order not to rip them off, she had arm braces on. They kept her arms stiff. They were like casts. Then, she had surgery on both eyes at 11 months and continued to have the braces on so she would not rub the stitches loose. So...I get the confinement thing...and about people asking. (One time a woman made a comment to me in the store about how awful it was that I had glasses on an infant! As if I was doing it for cosmetic purposes! I wanted to slug her! She was lucky I didn't!)<br />I feel for you...so you can count on my prayers being heartfelt and often. :)<br />I hope to meet you and your little angel some time soon. Maybe at SAMmy's in the fall. We've seen lots of prayer answered there these past few years...Jocelyn can attest to that! (She says "hi" btw...) :)<br />Have a great weekend, Laura!Penniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563967415448986218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402303390145550744.post-35431749702502556402011-06-02T21:11:35.612-05:002011-06-02T21:11:35.612-05:00You are an amazing woman.

I am so glad that I can be here for you because I never had even heard of hip dysplasia before we got Colton's diagnosis. I was so alone and scared and afraid and everyone around me was acting like it was no big deal. And just like you said, it is a big deal! this is something that our children have to endure and it is heartbreaking to watch and see them go through something like this. <br />SO YOU SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT and YOU FEEL HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FEEL!! I will be here to listen and support you any way that I possibly can!! <br /><br />She rocks that thing!

What an honest post!!! yes, no matter what, we feel sad for our children, and even when people tell you it could be worse, what our kids are going through at the time, is the worse for us, as parents.

I'm sure on one hand you'd like to fasto forward through this process but by then your little girl won't be so little anymore. I am praying for a speedy healing and an even speedier adjustment to the harness so you can enjoy your baby bug! It looks like bigger sun dresses might fit over the harness. I'm glad you have support. I have another friend who went through it with her first. I'll try to send her over here. <br /><br />KatieMike and Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432696541518313731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402303390145550744.post-72561282494490640262011-06-01T17:49:41.719-05:002011-06-01T17:49:41.719-05:00What a sweetie!

It doesn't matter that it isn't a worse case scenario, it is hard enough right now, right? She is so precious, and my heart goes out to you and her.

It's normal to feel sad about it, no matter what anyone says. We all expect our babies to be totally healthy and when that doesn't happen exactly the way we thought, it can be difficult to accept. I know it's hard to see her like that and it breaks my heart you can't cuddle her, but hang in there and remember, this too shall pass. <br /><br />I was so sad when Sprout was born and it took a few days for me to recover due to stitches. All I wanted to do was move around and be free to be a mom, but I had to wait for some time before that happened.<br /><br />I'm glad your writing how you really feel. Take care, I wish there was more I could do. I'll be praying that the harness works and she will be free of it soon. BTW, she's an adorable pumpkin! Love that last shot, looks like she's got blue eyes!<br /><br />((hugs))CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697762495151569561noreply@blogger.com
