My daughter hit nine months today, so we’ve been busy doing the doctor thing, and my thoughts have more been on her instead of the topics that fit here. Good lord, she is so freakin’ tiny!

While at the doctor’s office, my pediatrician noticed a “hip click” on Maya’s left side. We’re being referred to an orthapedist for further checking, because this can be indicative of hip dysplasia. Being the good (or is that neurotic?) mom that I am, I researched infant hip dysplasia as soon as I got home. YIKES.

I pray that this is really nothing, and thank god that I’m shelling out the large payments monthly for a good health insurance plan. Even if I’m spending more monthly than I might have out of pocket…when things like this arise, there’s no question about whether to go to the specialist. We just go.
