8 more weeks to go...

Well, since my kidney has not felt the need to function to it's full and normal potential, we have been to the doctor, and will continue to be, much more often than most women at this point in a normal pregnancy. For the second time in the last month, I ended up in Labor and Delivery hurtin' like a mad mammajamma. They can't decide if I have a kidney stone, which is normal for me; or if little man is laying on my Ureter and impairing the function of my kidney, which is apparently very normal as well. Either way, it has not been fun - but on a more positive note, we got to have another ultrasound so we (and the doctor) could check on our little trouble maker. His heart rate is consistantly in the 140 beats per minute range... and he is a chunky 4lbs 6oz's! He is growing quickly! The doctor did tell us that it is possible that if he continues causing my kidney problems that we could potentially do an amniocentesis sometime after 36 weeks and if his lungs are mature, they can induce me the next day. Right now, we are up in the air if this is something we want to do or not. Only time will tell. We will continue to the doctor weekly for now and per the doctors request we will be having another ultra sound at 35 weeks (December 9th). We are 32 weeks on Saturday! Only 8 more weeks to go!!

Once again we have a couple pictures of Baby G's face. You might have to tilt your head to the right to see him look at you but you can see his eyes closed in the first picture and his hands tucked under his chin. The second picture his eyes are open. :)






























And his extremities.....
