Follow-up ultrasound

Yesterday we had our follow-up ultrasound with a maternal fetal specialist in Reno. At our 19 week ultrasound they had found that the baby's right kidney had a minor dilation (4.5mm and they wanted it below 4.0mm). The doctors had told us that there was over a 50% chance that it would resolve itself in the womb and scheduled a follow-up for us. The right kidney has not changed which is a good thing and the 4.5mm is now within normal parameters for this stage of gestation. The left kidney has grown to 4.3mm. The doctor stated that they like to see between 4.0mm and 5.0mm at 31 weeks, so it appears to have resolved itself. The doctor will send a recommendation that our pediatrician order an ultrasound 3-7 days after he is born to make sure that there is not a reflux issue, but odds are all will be healthy and good. Greg and I are so very, very relieved! All other organs still look great and his measurements were right on the 50th percentile. He is approx. 3lb, 11oz. Her guess is that he will weigh about 7 1/2 pounds at birth. It was fun to see him again and find out how he is positioned. He remains head down with his back on my left side and his legs and arms tucked in on my right side...that explains all the kicks and nudges on the right side :-)

Thanks to everyone for your good thoughts and prayers...it has meant so much to us!
