Lil Munchkin Update

We had another appointment with the Perinatologist today to check on Lil Munchkin's kidneys. He/She was hiccuping the whole time but was very cooperative. At the last visit the left kidney measure 7mm and the right was 12 mm. Today the left was pretty much the same but the right has dilated a bit more to 15mm. We will go back again in 3 weeks for one more sonogram to see if they have dilated any more. At that point he will decide if he will send us to the Pediatric Urologist or not. At this point we have a bit more time to play with, so we are praying that the kidneys work themselves out and the next visit they will beconstricted. If we do have to go to the Pediatric Urologist he would then just talk to us about the plan for when this little one is born and talk it over with the Pediatrician he/she will be seeing, so there will be a game plan set should we need it at the time of delivery. I am still not too concerned at this point, so we will see what the kidneys are up to in 3 weeks and then go from there.
Other than that the lil munchkin is already weighing in at 4.1 pounds and measuring 1 week ahead (hope they do not get too much bigger in these last few weeks!!) Kerrick was 6.4 pounds and that was plenty big for an all natural delivery!
Sorry no picture of lil munchkin with this post.... she was trying to get a good shot of his/her face, but I was getting a little sick from my bp dropping from being on my back for so long, but hopefully next time she can get a good shot. Lil Munchkin definitely is already like his brother as they always have their hands at their face like Kerrick did.
