Babysitters Beware

We had our perinatologist visit today regarding the baby's kidneys.  After a super long ultra sound checking every centimeter of his little body, everything thing looks great except there is just a bit too much fluid in the kidneys.  Three things could cause this: 1. "kink" in the tube from the kidney to the bladder, 2. reflux from the bladder sending fluid back into the kidney, 3. he's just "special" and will grow out of it before he's born.  If it is either 1 or 2 and it does not resolve by the time he is 9 mo to a year old, they will do a surgery to fix the problem.  The good news is that this is relatively common and no cause for serious concern. During the visit, we got some great pictures of his feet and profile.  He was quite rambunctious and the doctor warned that we have a wild one on our hands.  Oh dear!

I have started to do some online shopping.  Thank goodness he is a boy... if it was a girl, I would already be looking for a second job to subsidize the spending.  Here's a cute shirt I ordered from a vendor on http://www.etsy.com/.  <UF is Eric's university and Georgia is my university (our teams are rivals).>>
