Doctors Appointment

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I took Will to the kidney specialist on Tuesday for a checkup (Will was born with a right kidney that does not function and is actually just a big ball of cysts). The docs said that based on the ultrasound he had in November, that the right kidney has no function and no blood flow to it (which is good, that means it will just shrink and die off), and that the left kidney has taken over all the function and looks good. This is very good news. We will just have to continue to have blood work every 6 months and ultrasounds every year till Will is about 5 years old. We have to keep an eye on his blood pressure (high blood pressure is bad for the kidney), make sure he doesn't get any serious or severe UTI which could damage his one good kidney. THe doc said that people live with one kidney all the time, some don't even know that they only have one kidney and so he is a healthy growing boy and to continue to treat him as such. All in all it was a good appointment. God is awesome and has definitely answered our prayers!!!
OH, and they drew a vial of blood out of his hand and he did not cry at all. Not even a wimper. The lady was talking to him and he was actually was laughing and smiling at her. My little man is so strong and brave.
They also weighed him and measured him. He's 5 months and 1 week old, and he weighs 20 POUNDS and 8 oz!!!!!! and was 26 inches long!!! My big ole chunky monkey!!!!! He's getting big and growing too fast!!! But I'm sure I've said that already :)

5 MONTHS OLD!!!

I can't believe Will is 5 months old already!! Time is really flying by. We are starting to get back in the swing of things and are starting to adjust to our new schedule. I went back to work last Monday (1/7) and with that brought some changes. My mom and dad had been keeping Will since I went back to work in October, but they started traveling again so Will started daycare when I went back to work this past week. The first day was rough on me, but I've finally adjusted and so has Will, and am starting to love the ladies that watch him while I'm at work, and they seem to really love Will too. Will is so much fun. He laughs and smiles a lot, and is just growing so fast. We are gradually starting him on baby food. He's eating oatmeal twice a day and LOVES it. He wolfs it down in minutes with minimal amount getting spit out. We will start giving him vegatables in a week or so. Thats whats going on with us. Hope everyone that reads this is doing well.
Here are lots of new pictures. They are kind of out of order a little bit.
