Had an Ultrasound on Junior's Hips Today

We had an ultrasound on Junior's hips today to see if he's going to have enough swivel in them to play cornerback for the Hogs....Not really.

Well, sort of really. We did have an ultrasound on Junior's hips today. He was breech, hence the c-section, and breech babies commonly have problems with their hips not "setting" properly. If they don't set properly the baby has to wear a brace for a little bit.

However, Junior's hips are fine. Everything turned out great. They have set perfectly.

I guess this means Junior won't be seen pulling a Forrest Gump: running down the road one day with the brace miraculously falling off. Or maybe we could've gotten a "Robo Cop" brace for babies? What this brace would have allowed him to do, I haven't a clue. Maybe get his butt out of the crib and get his own bottle? :-)

Actually, I don't know if I'm looking forward to the stage where Junior has locomotion (wasn't "the locomotion" a cheesy 90's dance tune?). Well, I'm looking forward to first steps and all that jazz but him standing up means he has access to things on top of tables and his head will have access to sharp corners when the inevitable falls occur. Mamma will be on pins and needles for both. We already have problems with Bailey (the dog) and her tail knocking things off tables. That tail is the perfect height to send a drink/picture flying.

Next we're going to put Junior on a treadmill to estimate his time in the 40 yard dash.
