Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Yes, you can! I use Outlook, which is not as easy as others but L sent me a novella of instructions on how to do it and Cerys sent me an idiotic guide, as ell. I can either send you and Cerys's info, if you use Outlook or someone else will help, I'm sure, if you use something else.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Holly, You got lots of good advice ... I'm glad that you have been able to get beyond the inital shock. You have a great attitude and will be a strong mom! I'm sure the reaction you get from others is due to ignorance, but it's a shame they are making you feel worse. People just don't know what clubfoot is, and what it means, and it sounds so awful. Maybe you can come up with a brief sentence to explain that the foot can be corrected and that your baby will be normal in every other way. (Although I wouldn't blame you for just keeping quiet about it instead, since people have been so insensitive.) We were surprised by the condition at delivery, and I had a hard time at first even just saying the word " clubfoot " . Now that we've been through it, I actually embrace it, as strange as that might sound, because it's a part of who my daughter is. Not to get too heavy here, but I actually believe that this might, in the long run, make my daughter a stronger, more determined and wiser person. It certainly has put things in perspective for me and, I hope, changed me for the better. It has strenghthened my faith, and made me more aware of the fragile blessings of life and what really matters. One additional bit of practical advice I would give is to be sure to take lots of pictures! I think I subconsciously didn't take as many in the early days because of our daughter's foot, or took pictures of her from the waist up only, and now I regret it. It's amazing how precious every part of your baby is .. even those that are not " normal " .. You love them from head to toe, however they are. And now that her foot is corrected, I wish I could look back and see her the way she was born. So, don't hesitate to click away! And, I'll say it along with the others: Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and meeting your baby face to face! Best wishes, and born June 2000 > Thank you so much for all of your responses.
