Hip (ultrasounds) don't lie!

 Voicemail I came home to today-


"Hi, this is a message for Gavin's mom,  it's the nurse calling back. Just wanted to let you know that Gavin's hip ultrasounds both came back COMPLETELY normal. Everything is just where it should be, growing in the right spot, looks perfect. Turns out your little guy just has extra chubby, munch-able thighs. Enjoy them!"

...and enjoy them I certainly will :)







(*this was in response to a concern his pediatrician had on Monday at his 6-month checkup...there were some extra fat roll creases in the backs of his legs, and apparently this can be attributed to a condition called hip dysplasia. Needless to say, we spent the entire week worrying about the possibility of him having to be in a cast or apparatus for the next several months to alleviate the condition-- so when this was the voice-mail we received after his ultrasound, we were beyond grateful & ecstatic!)
