So yesterday was Trent and I's first time back to the temple since Malorie was born. We decided to make a date out of it! I was so excited becuse things were getting so crazy around here we have not been able to enjoy just US! So we decided that when Trent got off work we would head over to Grandma's aka (mimi - my mom). As sooon as Trent got home my smile beamed from ear to ear! We headed off to my Mom and Dads house (the whole car I was soo excited!) We arived at their house and my heart sunk. I whispered over in Trent's ear and said are you sure you want to leave her. I couldnt imagine being away from my baby girl! For those of you who didn't know I recently quit my job so that I could stay home with Mal. With everything going on with her feet and such we decided there is no one better to take care of her than her mommy. Anyways, we said our goodbyes and headed down to Mesa. It was so nice to have spent time with Trent, he truly is a remarkable man and I am so lucky I get to spend eternity with him. We sat in the temple for awhile just smiling and telling eachother how much we love eachother. It's the best. We are more in love today than we were the day we got married.

Date with Dad and Malorie goes to Mimi's

Malorie's New Shoes
Believe it or not Malorie only needed 3 sets of casts. She did amazingly well and feet responded perfectly to the treatment. Normally (80% of the time) they always end up doing a tenotomy where they go in an clip the achiles tendon - but Malories had really good dorsiflexion in her foot and so she was able to go straight to her Ponseti Shoes and bar which she will need to wear full time for 3 months and then she will only need to wear them at bedtime and naptime until she is between 5 - 7 years old (this prevents any type of relapse) So by the time she is 4 1/2 months she will not wear the shoes and bar during the day so it will not interfere with any of her normal development. Malorie has been such a good baby through all of this. She is the best baby ever !

The Differnce a month makes
So the plan is to have Jamie take a picture of Malorie and this cute pink teddy bear and each of her monthly photo sessions so we can see how she is growing (Malorie, not the teddy bear)
Here she is at 5 days
and here she is at 1 month old. We will get an updated weight today at the doctor, last week she was 7lbs 13oz and I am sure she be over 8lbs today !!
Our little princess is already a month old

Perfecting the Feet of a Princess
How fortunate we are to live near Phoenix Childrens Hospital. Where the only orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lee Segal MD in the state of Arizona who is certified to use the Ponseti method to treat clubfoot. Dr. Segal and his PA actually trained with Dr. Ponseti. How blessed we are.
Sinai Hospital of Boston.
We feel blessed that we have found the perfect doctors to treat our perfect little princess.
