I feel horrible that it has come to this. The Ped. kept putting it off because it looked as though she may straighten her legs out herself, they had approved greatly since she was a little baby. She has bowed legs and pigeon toes.

I'm crushed some how I feel that maybe this is my fault, she came out of my womb with her legs crossed, the doctor told me she sat crossed legged for 9 months, and they may have caused her legs to bow.....that may just be a theory though.

She got fitted a measured today and she will be wearing her braces in a week. I hope people will not stare and gawk at her. I'm just glad that she's so young that she will not remember none of this later, plus she will not be teased at school neither.

Everytime I think of braces, I think of the movie Forrest Gump and all of his peers calling him a slow freak. Maybe I'm just overly nervous.
