Here are baby's nose and lips! I had a more advanced ultrasound on Wednesday morning. My wonderful father and brother Travis were over here at 7:00am to help take care of Ella, Aidrich, and Faustina! Mom went with me to the ultrasound since Mike was swamped with this being his last week of school.
The ultrasound went well and it, as always, is fun to see the baby swimming all over the place. I must admit - it was especially hard to not find out the gender this time! :) S/he was sucking its TOE most the time. I don't know what it is about toes and Adkins babies, but Faustina still likes to do that!
Baby's situation is that s/he does not have double kidneys on the left side; s/he has was is called a 'dupulicated collective system'. According to the technician, it is fairly common. Instead of one tube going down to the ureter on each kidney which empties into the bladder, our baby has 2 tubes branching off of each kidney. No surgery would be necessary, we just need to keep an eye on the baby since s/he would possibly be more susceptible to infections if one of the tubes gets clogged. So we were happy to hear good news. Thank you for prayers!
