Chaotic Bliss: Brrrrrr!!!!

It's a cold day in Vegas! 37 degrees outside, and it just snowed on the other side of town... not really my cup of tea considering we just spent a cold, rainy weekend in San Diego/Sea World!

So we had a pretty busy week last week, and we have an even busier one coming up this week! Last weekend we decorated our Christmas tree - actually Will and Nate decorated it and I watched... and I was really proud of them b/c they did such a wonderful job, that my over obsessive everything-has-to-be-in-the-right-spot self didn't even move any ornaments!

On Tuesday Jacob had an appointment with the pediatric urgologist (a doctor who specializes in urinary tracts). To recap (b/c I have lost my mind and am not sure if I ever mentioned this), in ultrasounds during the pregnancy it was detected that Jacob had dilated kidney's. Usually this goes away with the birth, but they monitored it for the remainder of the pregnancy anyways. When Jake was 2 weeks old he got an ultrasound done, and there was still fluid in his left kidney, so with that being found, they sent us to the urologist. The urologist determined that Jake needs to be sent to a radiologist to get a test done that will let us know why there is fluid in his kidney. Ok, before I continue, I would just like to say that this is NOT life threatening. This test will determine 1 of 3 things:
1. there is extra skin on his urethra, which would need to be removed surgically (the doc kind of already eliminated this option as he would have more fluid in his kidney than he currently does)
2. he has Reflux (when pee travels back up into the ureters), which is hereditary, and he would have to be put on antibiotics for a year
OR
3. the ureter has a small opening when it connects to the kidney, so the fluid isn't completely draining, in which case the urologist will monitor regularly

Jake is getting the procedure done on Friday, and it should only take a few minutes. He'll be put on antibiotics for 3 days, starting the day before the procedure. They will be able to tell us during the procedure which of the 3 options it is. Jake is pretty perfect, so I'm sure it will definitely not be option 1 :)
