Baby unknown 18 weeks along!

 This pregnancy has been fantastic this far... apart from the last 3 weeks or so. Its much better now. So for the most part I honestly can't complain! I have had hardly any severe sickness, and my energy levels are back for the most part!

 I have been have some major kidney pain again, and the doctor ordered an ultrasound to be done on them. Turns out I have stones in both kidneys. In the Right kidney I have cysts, and Hydronephrosis. To learn about it go here. Its to long to explain. Its quite painful, and I can tell you I have been found crying in Ron's Arms a couple of times.

 If Hydronephrosis is left untreated I could possibly go into kidney failure (AWESOME!).  Let me make it clear that all Pregnant women go through some sort of Hydronephrosis, but my case seems to get much more serious and I get severe kidney infections. They HURT!!!!!!Because of this and my previous history of having it with my  Hayden pregnancy, my doctor has ordered me to go and see a Urologist. He is very proactive of taking care of things before anything happens. With Hayden, I wasn't treated until I literally peed blood. Want to talk about freaking a mommy to be out!? This doctor doesn't even want to get there! He is fantastic.  He told me he has a daughter about my age. He always says if you were my daughter this is what I would recommend. You can just tell he really cares. So him and a urologist are going to work together, do some tests, and decide if they feel they should go ahead and put a stint (catheter)  in my ureter. Maybe this is TMI, but honestly I didn't even know such a thing existed during pregnancy! I hope we don't get to that point, cause I hear those are just as uncomfortable.

Anyways, I am not complaining. I am honestly so grateful for a great doctor, modern medicine, and for this sweet little babe growing in my tummy. I would go through all of this and more to have my little babes. They are so worth it when they placed in your arms. I still love everything about being pregnant. Little Girl is really starting to roll, do summersaults, and squirm in my belly! I love it! I don't feel it all the time, when I do it still sometimes catches me off guard, but it always makes me giggle and smile. I love being pregnant and being a mommy. Seriously there is no better calling in the entire world. I love my children (THATS WAY WEIRD TO SAY) sooooo much that it hurts.

Well enough of my soap box! Here is our little girl!!! Can I just say 3d Ultrasounds are awesome! I never got one with Hayden.They cost 100 bucks!!! Its standard protocol here at this doctor's office. I love it!  I love seeing all of her details.

Here is her little body. Definitely curled in the fetal position, but still has plenty of room to stretch and move around.

Here is her little bum. They call this a diaper shot. Basically what you would see while changing a diaper. The little hand is pointing to her "female" parts. She was quite willing this time around to let us get a peak. We are positive she is a little girl!

Here is her precious little profile. Her little hands are up by her face. She was squirming a bit because this little girl doesn't like to be poked and prodded, but for the most part I am pretty sure she was fast asleep.


149 days and counting till she is here. I will officially be a mommy of 2 babes. Can I just tell you how ideal it is to have a handsome little boy, and a beautiful little girl. I am one lucky MAMA!!!! I am so stinking excited. I already have my baby drawer started! I can't wait to watch it grow, and watch her grow!
