About 4 weeks ago at my appointment before today, my doctor said something might be wrong with the baby's kidneys. He said not to worry he just wanted to get another ultra-sound to keep an eye on them to see if they were getting bigger or back down to normal. He explained to Brandon and I what it was, but I can't remember for the life of me what he said and how he said it so sorry. Well we went in for another ultra-sound this morning and had my doctors appointment. The doctor said that according to the measurements this time the thing that was wrong with the kidneys got slightly bigger, but he was going to have the radiologist look at it more closely, but he doesn't doubt that when I go in for next appointment in three week we will be scheduling another ultrasound. He said that if this continues than the baby will probably have to have ultrasounds to keep an eye on his kidneys after he is born. He told us not to worry he just wants to do this for precaution. In all his years of practice he has never seen kidney failure or problems with baby's kidneys that might have this problem after they are born. He has seen however if it gets too bad while they are in the womb having to give the baby surgery before they are born, but he says that this baby is no where close to having that serious of a problem and I'm 26 weeks now. I'll just have to have numerous ultrasounds throughout the rest of this pregnancy. So yeah it's a little scary, but I have a strong feeling that everything is going to be alright! I do have to go to a Physical Theropist for my hip because I'm getting to the point that when I wake up in the morning I can't even walk. But you know what I would rather have that kind of pain than have something serious happen.
Now for an update with my high risk delivery. When I had my problem during and right after I had Sydnee the doctors thought for sure that I would have to have a c-section with my next kid. Well, my doctor now did some research and had some specialist from Utah take a look at my charts and they said that they are going to shoot for having this baby vaginally, but I have to have an epideral and I will have the minimal pushing possible. So I won't be pushing until the baby has completely dropped into the birth canal. (or however he put it) But if I show any signs of having the Crepatins (sorry I don't know how you spell it) then they will stop the process and put me in for a c-section. He sounds pretty confident that everything will be ok and work out. I feel that everything will be ok also. But you never know because I always seem to find a way to suprise people.
Well other than all this this pregnancy is going great. I just have massive heartburn ALL THE TIME!!!! I can live with that I guess. Syd is doing great. She is such a girl and has such an attitude. She also has SO MUCH ENERGY. I don't know where she is getting it from ;o) She is learning to talk a lot more. She tries to mimick everything we say and do. I would post pictures, but our computer won't let us right now and we lost the internet on our nice computer. I will be posting a ton once we get the internet up and running again on our other computer. Brandon is doing great in school and work. Life is awesome and we are loving it!!
