our story

We welcomed our second daughter Annabelle on February 18, 2012, a week before her due date. That same day, the pediatrician felt a click in her right hip ...

... it was never felt again. An x-ray the same day showed nothing, so we weren't too concerned. We had a follow-up ultrasound when she was 6 weeks old, and it showed that *BOTH* of her hips are dislocated. (a condition called Develomental Dysplasia of the Hip or DDH)

Tutorial: Changing a t-shirt/onesie

After our first nightmarish onesie change, I quickly learned to *NOT* loosen more than one of the permitted three straps at a time. It makes for a slightly more difficult clothing change, but the replacement of the Pavlik harness is much easier. Less stressful for me, too!

I taped this 'tutorial' of sorts, in order to show others how we did it, and to be educational for any of Annabelle's caregivers. I had to split it into two parts in order to post it on here.
