It has been a really long time since I wrote anything or put up any pictures. So much has happened since then. First, I passed my glucose test and everything is OK with that. Second, I found out what is wrong with his kidneys. The tube that connects to the kidneys is dilated and his body isn't using it. Since his body isn't using it, urine is collecting in his kidneys. Its not a big deal and should be gone by the time he is born but the doctor wants to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get any worse. The worst case is that if it is still there when he is born than they will stick a tube into his kidneys and drain it that way. Ben and I are trusting God and know that His plan is best. Next I had another ultrasound and got some really good pictures of his face. It was so good to see him again. He weighs 3 pounds 12 ounces. He gained almost 2 pounds in one month. I think that he looks so much like Ben and I can't wait to see his face. Last but not least my work threw me a baby shower. They were beyond gracious and generous. It was so exciting getting all of the items that they gave me. Oh and after my baby shower yesterday, I came home to my deep freezer not working. The power outlet went out, not sure when, and everything went bad. It was very stressful but I was told that it is hopefully covered in our homeowners policy. So hopefully we will be able to get reimbursed for all of our food. We are going to contact the insurance company on Monday. My mom came over to help me yesterday with organizing all the baby clothes and stuff that I got from my baby shower while my dad helped Ben with the flooring. The flooring has been hard to do and Ben has worked almost everyday this week to get it done. It is almost finished and it looks so good. It is going to be so worth it when it is done. We have been extremely blessed and I am so thankful to God for everything that he has helped us with. Pray for his kidneys still, the freezer situation, and that Ben and I would continue to trust God in everything.
We will keep praying. It was so good to see you today! I hope you found a changing table! And the pictures are precious!
