Lil Munchkin Update

Here are a few pictures of the Lil Munchkin from today!!
This morning I had appointment with both of our doctors. First, I went to the perinatologist in which I got the see the Lil Munchkin. He/She was not too active today, but I think they are just running out of space inside. But of course their hands were at their face (as you can see in the pictures) just like Kerrick always did. And they were practicing their breathing a little while we were watching him/her. The visit was good although the left kidney dilated even more, to 17-18cm and last time it was measuring 15. The right kidney dilated to about 10 this time, but not too much concern with that side. (Although I must have gotten the kidneys mixed up last time, as I thought it was opposite??) So he is now referring us to a Pediatric Urologist who will basically make out a plan for when the baby is born. Most likely the lil munchkin will just get put on antibiotics to prevent any infections and the kidneys will hopefully eventually cure on their own. The perinatologist believes it is just reflux and all will be ok. So we are now just waiting to hear from the Peds Urologist to setup that appointment. We will go back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound to see if they dilate even more. At that point I will be 37 weeks along and a decision will be made should they induce me in that it is not safe for the baby to be in womb and the kidneys dilating so much. So I just pray the Lord's will and selfishly praying I do not have to get induced....but will of course do what is best for the lil munchkin! I did find out that the Lil Munchkin weighs in at a whopping 5.5 lbs - might have to put him/her on a diet so they don't get too much bigger before delivery!! LOL!!
After this appointment I went to my regular OB and all was fine with that appointment...just the normal heartbeat monitoring and measuring! We will go see her in 2 weeks....and Daddy will get to hear his/her heartbeat for the first time!!!

And in other news....my coworkers wife is a true miracle. She was extubated on Tuesday, the chest tube was also taken out and she was up in a chair this morning eating breakfast!! Praise the LORD!!! Bowie said she is already getting back to her old self, pestering everybody of when she can go home!! We are all sooo excited for them and praising the Lord for such a wonderful testimony!!
