Pregnancy Update

This past Monday I went to my monthly doctors appt. She said everything sounded good, and I was measuring 27 weeks (I was only 24), which she says is normal. I should measure 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule each time she measures me. Then on Tuesday I had my ultrasound. The girls looked good, still growing right on schedule. Kennedy (Baby A) weighs 1lb 6ozs and Bailey (Baby B) weighs 1lb 9ozs. She did some 4D pictures of their faces, and although it is kind of weird to look at, it is so amazing to see their little faces. Carter actually went to the appt with me, so he got to see them on the screen, not that he knows what was going on.

Bailey is the one with the kidney issue, and it continues to grow. It has grown to 16 MM, where last month is was 7MM. However, she is getting bigger, so you can expect it to grow a little. All of the fluid looked good in her sack, so they are still not concerned since it appears that she has one good functioning kidney. We are going back to Joplin on the 29th of this month to see the doctor there again. Not real sure what he can do differently, but I guess he wants to get an update from my last appt. I will keep you all updated, but please continue to pray for little Bailey, although it is not life threatening it is still hard to know that her kidney is not how it is supposed to be.

Misty, If it makes you feel any better, the doctors told me that one of Eva's little kidney's was dilated more than it should be and that she'd most likely grow out of it. By her 32 week ultra sounds she did. So i'll be saying extra prayers for Miss Bailey but rest in the fact that most little girl's kidneys will self correct by the time they're here. Glad all is going well and hope we can get together soon!
