And Baby Makes Chaos: At Long Last

HELLO!

We are Alicia and Frank. In April, 2009 we welcomed our first baby into the world. Olivia came 1 week and 1 day late -- like her mom, always "fashionably late." The very next day a doctor felt and heard clicks when moving her legs. She was officially diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip at 5 days old. Through several procedures, her hips have developed beautifully! This page is meant to keep family and friends updated on her progress and our lives. Enjoy!

You can read my very first post and a more detailed version of Olivia's story here. Posts about hip dysplasia are found here, and if you'd like to see all posts related to the spica cast, click here.

At Long Last

Today, for the first time in a long time, Olivia has taken a nap lasting longer than 45 minutes. In fact, she has slept for 2 1/2 hours and is still asleep! I've been able to actually do something productive. In honor of this momentous occasion, I'm posting some pictures of Olivia's last nap in her cradle. Enjoy!
