So bad...

Ok, so here I go starting something that I probably shouldn't have.  What was I thinking to start a blog when I have never in my life been able to even keep a journal?  Anyway, since the last post, things have been busy.  Last week, Jonah had an ultrasound to check his bladder, kidneys and the like.  Then he had a VCUG, which I have no idea what that stands for.  All I know is that it was a test where they stick a catheter in the poor boy and shoot a die in his bladder.  Then, he's supposed to pee all that stuff out and they check to see if any pee "refluxes" or goes back up into his system.  Well, I'm sure my interpretation isn't really scientific but that's what it looked like to me.  My little guy was such a trooper.  He didn't cry when they stuck the catheter in him.  However, he did cry when he tried to pee all that stuff out of his system.  Regardless, he's ok for now.  The doc called a few days later and said that his kidneys are a little inflamed, and they will do another ultrasound at his 1 year check up to monitor that.  What a relief.  Now, our current dilemma is getting him to sleep thru the night without waking up.  We just started to try some things out, so I'll keep you posted on that.


The girls, on the other hand, are doing great.  They crack us up constantly.  Zoe's turning out to be our little athlete and Annelise is our diva/princess.  If I can remember to actually sit down and learn how to use this site, I'll post some pics.  Until next time...
