Another Doctors Appointment

Well we had another Doctors appointment this morning. Things are still looking the same as far as little Derrick's kidney goes. Yay! Although......he is still big. He is now greater than the 97th percentile. They gave us an estimated weight of 6.11 lbs. And I still have 6 weeks to go!! Needless to say, I'm a tad nervous about how all of this is going to end in the delivery room. They keep asking about diabetes too, thinking that it may be the reason that he is big, but I've taken two different tests now and they have both come out normal. Not even close to the line. And it went down the second time I took it. So I guess he is just big. Maybe we will have him early.........I think Josh and I are both hoping for that.

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.
