30 wks....32 wks... time is flying by!

I meant to post a photo at 30 weeks, but I didn't get around to it in time. We seem to stay busy these days, which is a great thing when you're beginning to feel really pregnant and dreaming about delivering at 37 weeks instead of 40 (one can dream, right??). Our busy is nice though, and we feel really blessed. We have spent the summer so far enjoying time with friends and family mostly and also entertaining our dog. Durham requires a lot of energy on our part since we don't have a back yard yet for her to play in. We also have been settling into the house more and getting the baby's room ready... photos of the final product to come.

30 weeks

32 weeks

We went to the doctor at 32 weeks for our follow up sonogram where we learned that our baby's kidney had not yet healed itself. The medical term for it is Pyelectasis. There is lots of information online about the condition (both scary and reassuring), if you want to know more about it. Nevertheless, we have a follow up appointment at 36 weeks to see if there has been any progress so please pray with us that our baby's kidney would be healed! All the other results looked great, and we even got an estimated baby weight of 4lbs 10oz, which certainly indicates a healthy size baby at this gestational age!

I'm getting more and more excited every day to meet my precious little future futbol playin' baby. At least that's what I'm guessing he or she will be by the activity going on in my belly these days. Oh, and speaking of futbol... if you think of it, throw up some prayers for Brentley as he'll be attending child birthing classes this weekend during the World Cup finals. I'm a terrible person for scheduling it this coming weekend, I know. I'm just glad that we lost, because now I don't have to name our baby Donovan =)
