I went in for a kidney/bladder ultrasound on Friday. I had a great tech and even though he wasn't supposed to he peeked at the baby. It looks like we're having another boy (but I'm only 16 weeks, so we'll double check at my 20 week ultrasound soon), which totally surprised me, I thought for sure it was a girl! That will make me 0 for 3. lol
It was a really long ultrasound, and they even brought the radiologist in for some of it to watch instead of just sending him the pictures. The tech told me I have "fluid on the kidneys" which he said is not super uncommon during pregnancy and could cause bleeding. I also have funny shaped kidneys, which could be normal for me, but it sounds like it's something they'll keep an eye on (and seeing as it's me, I'm betting on it being normal lol). The radiologist said one of his kidneys is the same way and he watched it for 5 years before he decided that was just normal for him.
I still have to go back to the doctor to get the official results in a couple weeks and find out where we go from here, but I feel so much better knowing that there's some sort of explanation for what's been going on, and it didn't hurt that I got to peek at the babe too!

That's great! I was just logging onto your blog to put on your poll that I think you're having a boy- because I dreamt about it last night! Glad that everything's figured out with the other stuff too ;)
Yay for boys! At least im going to agree with the tech right now since at 16 weeks they can be pretty accurate. Hope that what they found with your kidneys is exactly the problem so the mystery is solved :)
Glad you are feeling better! YEAH!
