Pregnancy Update

Since I've been slacking on the pregnancy updates...here's some more recent info!  This little guy was diagnosed with pyelectasis at around 24 weeks.  You can google it if you want but it's basically the enlargement of one of his kidneys.  In his case, I believe it's the left one and that it measures 6 mm...just at the top of the normal range we've been told.  We were sent to see the perinatologist at about 27 weeks (just before Thanksgiving)and got to see more of our little guy! (Having gestational diabetes with Brayden and having lots of ultrasounds, this pregnancy wouldn't have been "normal" by my standards if I hadn't needed more ultrasounds and time with a perinatologist!) We learned more about pyelectasis and that this little guy is BIG!  That day he was measuring 14 days bigger than he should have been! This little bit of knowledge has helped my doctor in deciding to induce me at 39 weeks! We go again to the perinatologist tomorrow so we'll see if anything new develops and if the pyelectasis has resolved itself, which is sometimes the case.

Here's some scans of a few of the pictures we got that day!
His foot!  I can't wait to have him here with us and to have someone SO small around the house again!  I love all their little baby body parts!
He seems to be taking after his big brother and always having his hands up at his face/head.  Brayden still sleeps like that!

Sorry it's crooked!  But here's his little profile!  
Maybe we'll get 3D ones from them tomorrow?!?!

I was 32 weeks the day after Christmas and here's how I was looking then!

Yeah, pretty big huh?!?  Luckily I haven't gained a ton of weight...yet?  I'm still in the single digits but we'll see next week after the holidays!  Yikes!

Single digits!?! You are so lucky, most of us are in the doubles. Good luck with the pyelectasis, I hope everything turns out okay. Hopefully we will get to see you guys soon. We are going to wait till the snow is gone before we head up there again. I am not a fan of the cold. :)
