Boots!


On Saturday we had some friends over to watch the Cardinals game (which was awesome by the way) and they wore their cowboy boots. Brent later found them and wanted to try them on. He looked cute, I didn't get a picture of him in the big boots though. But it reminded me that we had some of Josh's old cowboy boots from when he was a little boy, so I pulled them out of the closet and Brent just loved them! He chased Pummy (our cat) in them and loved the sound they made on the kitchen floor. they are his new favorite toy :)

Brent loves taking baths! Josh was giving him one the other day and he just looked so cute in there that I had to get a picture of him. His friend Bailey got him that little basket ball hoop that you see. He loves playing with it!

We had another appointment with the specialist today. There hasn't been a significant change in the size of the cysts on little Derrick's Kidney, and the amniotic fluid is normal also, which means both kidneys are working. At least one and a half. So.....it's good news :) He is still a big boy, but instead of being in the 94th percentile he is now in the 88th. We are thinking, and hoping that he will average out towards the end of the pregnancy. Right now he weighs about 3lbs and 14 oz.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas this year was busy with lots of family, and loads of fun! Brent really likes to play with the vacuum so we thought it would be a good idea to buy him a toy one for Christmas. Our idea was a success!! he loves it and pushes it around everywhere! He even vacuums when we do :)


We just couldn't wait for Christmas so we ended up waking him :) He was a tad sleepy.

We had our second appt. with the specialist yesterday. They did another ultrasound and it looks like nothing has really changed. Which is good. That is what we were hoping for. The three cysts are still there, but now they can tell that they are on his kidney and not on his adrenal gland. They haven't grown and there aren't anymore so we are happy :) We are supposed to go and meet with the urologist sometime this month to get a few more questions answered and find out exactly what happens after the baby is born. He is a big baby though and is measuring 2 weeks bigger. He is in the 94th percentile. The doctor did say that things could average out towards the end of the pregnancy though.
