One woman's journey into life as a we... and all that comes with it.
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.
In keeping with tradition, Olivia and I did 5 month photo shoot when I got home from work. Despite another day of little napping, she was a champ! I thought the above sequence of photos was adorable and wanted to post it right away. There are a few other doozies, but I'm too tired to post them tonight. Look for them as well as a little blurb of all the wonderful things Liv is doing at 5 months! (BTW, there is no brace in the pictures but this is because I chose not to put her in it during the "event." It should be noted that Olivia is supposed to be in her brace so don't think that some wonderful hip healing has gone on lately; I'm just being a bad mom.)
