Third Trimester, Here We Come!

I've officially entered the third trimester of my pregnancy. This morning, I took a trip to the high-risk OB for an ultrasound, and got some good news. It looks like the baby's right kidney is now down to normal size, and the spot on her heart is "resolving" (which I think means that they couldn't see it at all, but don't want to admit it!). The left kidney, however, is still lingering at around 14mm, which is twice the size that it should be. We will still continue to closely monitor via ultrasound; I'll go back in about 4 weeks. She is weighing around 3 lb 4 oz. and was moving like crazy during the ultrasound. We got 3 really great profile pictures, one of which showed her yawning. She also showed off her new skill during the ultrasound - sucking her thumb! Hopefully that's not a habit that she keeps! 

As we are getting closer to her due date, we've started the process of preparing for our new little one! We have even decided on a name... Madelyn! Taylor loves the name and calls her "Baby Maddy". 


Sam began his second round of chemotherapy this week, and is having a tough time with it. His hair began falling out, and his nausea and fatigue are little bit more intense than last time. We plan on shaving his head tomorrow!
