Half way there!

So this week marks the half way journey in our pregnancy, and I am still nervous but getting very excited. Baby has been kicking for weeks and they have started to get much stronger, we have had another 2 ultrasounds and found out that baby has some kidney problems, called hydronephrosis meaning that fluid is there that is not supposed to be. This can resolve before birth but if not may require surgery and antibiotics as well as continued treatment, and creating greater worry, it is a marker for down syndrome. I am leaning towards baby being a boy because it is far more common in boys and also has better outcomes for them, but on the u/s I didn't see any boy bits when they looked at the legs. I was trying not to look though so I could very well be wrong.

OH has been so wonderful and is getting so excited. One night we were at a baseball game and he caught a ball and gave it to a little boy next to us, and he said it made him feel so good to make him happy, and it made me so happy to see him like that. It was something little, but it was so sweet and melted my heart, and that same night he said he really wished our baby was here now. We did our registry and it was so exciting seeing him so happy and excited, despite all the recent worry about health problems with the baby. Otherwise all is well, I'm just starting to get uncomfortable, especially my back, but hopefully it won't get too much worse.
