28 weeks and baby 2 update

Dear Baby Wylie 2-
We love you so much and are so excited about your arrival in just 3 short months!
I'm sorry I haven't posted many pictures of you growing in Mama's tummy, but your big sister keeps me busy!! Don't worry, once you arrive we'll take lots and lots of pictures of you and post them here for everyone to see.
Love,
Mama
I have felt so bad about not posting lots of news and updates about Baby 2. Every time I think about getting Jon to take a picture of my belly I am usually in my pjs by that point and not feeling super photogenic. A few days ago Lydda Grace was playing in the mirror and I thought- "that's how I'll get a picture of baby in my belly!" So here I am at 28 weeks, though Baby is actually measuring at 29 weeks (note to self... stop eating so much ice cream!).

One thing I do want to share is that this baby has a partially blocked kidney that we are just keeping an eye on until he/she is born. We really have a peace that the Lord can totally fix this issue before the baby is even born (which is apparently relatively common). We'll be having another ultrasound in about 6 weeks and will meet with a pediatric urologist then to review options for what happens when the baby is born. At this point all we can do is pray and wait for the baby to arrive. Please let me reiterate that this is really not a huge deal and we are not worrying, according to our OB if the baby is going to have a problem then this is the kind of problem you would want to have. It's a good exercise in patience and trust.

One of the hardest things about this kidney issue is that we are having a LOT more ultrasounds which makes is VERY tempting (for me, not for Jon, he's the strong one) to find out what we're having. So far we've held out and are excited for our little surprise to arrive!! :)

I'll set up a poll so we can start getting some votes for boy or girl!

Stay strong and don't peak! We found out what we were having with our second child and it takes a little fun out of the birth when you know what the sex is. I enjoyed it so much when Bill was able to tell me it's a girl. When we have baby number three we are not going to find out. You look great!!
