It's a Boy!

Well I decided to give this whole blog thing a try to keep everyone updated on are growing family! On Wednesday Jan. 30 ( the night of the big snow storm!) we had a baby boy! His name is Tyler Derick and was 9lbs and 6 oz.. Rileigh and Annika have handled our new addition to the family very well, the adjustment from 2 to 3 was not nearly as callanging as going from 1 to 2 , for me at least. Tyler has been a great baby so far, he does pretty good at night he is usually up at 2 and 5:30 and he goes back to sleep right after his bottle. This past Wednesday we had to take Tyler to DeVos Childrens Hospital to have an ultra sound and a VCUG of his kidney because when I was pregnant the saw that one of his kidneys had hydroneferouses (sp?) what this is, is urine backs up in to the kidney and can cause kidney infections so they wanted the ultrasound to see if was still there and a VCUG ( which they catherize him and take ex-rays to see if urine refluxed in the kidney YUCK!) Derick and I didn't know if we really wanted to put him thru the VCUG if this issue has resolved it's self already. So to make a long story short we asked the ultrasound tech if she could have someone read the ultrasound before we had the VCUG. When she came back she informed us that there was a little fluid in the kidney and they really didn't think is was nessarey to do the VCUG since the issue was very minor and we still had a lot of questions we wanted answered before this test, so we left with out the test. The Doc. office gave us a call on Friday and said there was very little reflux and he was not concered at all about it. Most of these issues resolve themselves by the time kids are 5. Some of the kids go on a preventative anti-biotic until then to prevent any kidney infections but for now they are not even going to do that because his case is go minor. Praise be to GOD!!! Enough for now it is time for Tylers bottle!!
