Brace yourself

For the last two weeks Boo has been in a Rhino Cruiser brace which supports the upper thighs, hips and waist.   The brace stays on almost 24 hours a day, but can come off for bath time and  nappy changing.  After the spica, caring for her in the brace is a breeze.

Boo is loving being able to have a bath, she splashes around, giggles and kicks her legs - it's so lovely to see her legs and feet again (and not have a stinky baby)!

The first 10 days or so didn't see much action, but in the last two days Boo has figured out how to sit up in the brace and has out how to shuffle around the floor.  So far only in circles, but I'm sure another few days will see her shuffling across the room and into plenty of mischief.

Sleeping is not so great (specially for J and I as we struggle to get up for work after a long night of wake up calls), although that might be more about the terrible twos rather than the brace!

Another appointment in 4 weeks and fingers crossed the brace will be able to be discarded (no it won't be going straight to the pool room).

Oh and yes... she's still smiling and dancing.
