hang on, they organise themselves?

how do you do that?

I spend ages dragging and dropping - can really avoid all that hassle?

Chris

themselves!!

Thank you very much to everyone who helped me organise myself, I'm very

grateful.

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.

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,
