Again, back again

Here I am! With the new baby coming, I want to try and get back in the habit again. I have a bunch of new Kitty photos to get off the camera, so I'll post those soon.

Brother baby news...

I'm what, almost 33 weeks? Everything is mostly good. I'm the most
boring high risk pregnant lady ever--no diabetes, no high blood pressure,
my blood disorder went into remission so I'm off the drugs for that
(cross fingers it doesn't come back after delivery!), and my cervix is
mostly behaving itself. I am starting to have some early changes, and
I've been threatened with "modified activity" at my 34 week check if it
progresses. I'm going to spin that as I get to keep working (with maybe
one work from home day a week) and put my feet up otherwise. Theo has
been warned. But even then, it would only be for 3 weeks or so before
full term.

The baby does have enlarged kidneys, most likely from a kink in the
works slowing drainage to the bladder, and we need to schedule a peds
urology consult to discuss post birth followup. But this is seen in like
1% of pregnancies and only a very small percentage of those need treatment
after birth, so I'm optimistic.
