Healthy Baby

Getting to Friday's appointment was really the hardest part. On the way, not only did my maintenance light come on, but so did my check engine. Then I got lost. After driving around in circles, and trying to call the office a million times I finally spotted the building. As I was pulling into the parking garage, some construction workers informed me that my back tire was completely flat. By this point I was already sweating due to frustration, but I managed to pull into a parking space and jogged up to the doctors office.

When I got there, sweating and panting, they told me that I was too late to actually go to my appointment and that I would need to reschedule. The next open appointment would be over a week away. I simply couldn't take it anymore, I started balling right there in the middle of the lobby. After the water works, the whisked me into the back room and said they would just go ahead and squeeze me in.

The rest of the appointment went great. I got to see my kicking little girl on the big screen and she cooperated very well with the ultrasound technician. The doctor explained to me that even though her kidneys look dense, he doesn't think that she has whats called poly cystic kidney disease. Apparently in cases of poly cystic kidney disease, the kidneys are also larger and more fluid filled. The plan is to keep an eye on them to make sure that nothing changes for the worse, so I go back in 7 weeks. The doctor comforted me in letting me know that he actually sees this a lot, and it usually turns out to be just fine. He was very nice, but I'm sure he's used to worried mommas since he is a high risk doctor.

I pray that she is healthy, and I'm pretty confident that she is. I am so excited to meet her for the first time. It seems like she is all I can think about.

Keep growing little girl... I love you with all my heart!
