When Jacob was almost 3 weeks old, we made our first trip back home. On Monday we had to be in St. Louis for his doctor appointment, so we made a weekend out of it to visit with family. Because he was born breech, they were concerned about his hip joints being loosely set in the sockets so we had to take him to a specialist there so he could get an ultrasound to determine if he had to wear a brace to hold them in place for a while. We were so relieved when we found out his hips weren't as bad as his pediatrician originally thought! I was concerned that wearing a brace would effect how he would learn to crawl and walk in the coming months. Now we just have to take him back in 3 weeks for a follow-up appointment. Doc said by then my hormones should be out of Jacob's system and that will cause the ligaments around his hip sockets to tighten. So we'll be back!!
