Alabama Nesties
Her heart is healthy and strong. She is gaining weight good and her
measurements are good. Get this....she gained 7 ounces since Friday
My fluid and her fluid seems good.
The not so good. She has two ureter tubes from her right kidney. We are suppose to have one from each. It is blocking the urine back up into the kidney and that is why they are enlarged. This is something they can't do anything for right now. After she is born they can start her on antibiotics for infection and then when she is a little older than can do surgery if they need to. The dr. wants me to come back to UAB and see the urologist and let him sit in on another ultrasound. He can answer more questions and see more details. AS for her left kidney we aren't sure b/c she was laying on it and we didn't get a good picture of it. It might have more than one tube. We aren't sure. She said if we would have not done ultrasounds we would have never known anything was wrong. She would have been born and then maybe started running fever and having infection. So now we know!!!!
This isn't a fatal/serious condition. I asked and she was like no there is
less than 1% that this is life threatening.
So overall not the best news but not the worst. I am glad to have a name
for it and a game plan. The name is long and hard to say....I have never
heard of it.She did say this has got worse over the last 2-3 ultrasounds. That is why they sent me to UAB. They would also want me to bring her back to that same urologist 2 weeks after she is born for him to evaluate her.So now I am waiting to hear back about when they want me to go back to UAB to see the urologist.
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. We still need them coming our way!!

Update from UAB appt....long
Hey everyone. I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on with the baby.
Ok, here is the novel....Her heart is healthy and strong. She is gaining weight good and her
measurements are good. Get this....she gained 7 ounces since Friday
My fluid and her fluid seems good.

Re: Update from UAB appt....long
Thanks girls
I just want to be positive and not stress out b/c I know that can't be good for her or me.
I am ready to do fun stuff like doing her room and my showers.
It's so good you know now Nicole and they will be prepared for when she arrives. Only good thoughts coming your way. Just think positively and I'm sure they will take care of both of you. Better to know now than not at all.
Hope they are able to find out more w/each step of the way.
I know it is a huge relief that they know what is going on....and are prepared to treat her after she is born! Many hugs and good wishes for you and baby! Keep us posted!
