Today was a rough one.
Scott and I had an ultrasound appointment today, mostly because they forgot to record some of the images from last time and didn't record us a video. I was actually really excited to go in and get to take another peak at her. Unfortunately, it looks like things aren't quite as on track as we thought they would be. Her kidneys showed some abnormalities.
I can't quite remember the exact name for her condition (not that I would be able to pronounce it anyway) but basically as it was explained, her kidney's are showing up brighter than they should on the ultrasound. This means that they are too dense. Later down the road, this usually results in cysts in the kidneys in the third trimester and in early childhood. In extreme cases this requires a kidney transplant for the infant or child. Dr. Delorit, explained that it was still too early to tell exactly what the extent of her condition would be, but she did refer me to a "high risk pregnancy" specialist.
At this point all we can do is pray. I just want this baby girl to be healthy, more than anything.

Here are two belly pictures for this week since I missed last week, I've included an extra letting it all hang out.
Other than the doctor news, everything seems to still be crazy. We were out of town last weekend and I've been playing catch up with work all week. I am hiring for multiple different positions right now, and having the hardest time keeping everything straight. I am so excited for a 3 day weekend at home.
Well, that's about all I have energy for right now. I'll be sure update as I find out more news on our little girl.
