Frosty came to visit

Yesterday and last night, we got 10 inches of fluffy, sparkly snow. I actually shoveled some of it myself because it was so light. It reminded me that Scott had made a snowman before we left for Kansas City. No snowmen will be possible with this snow, but I thought you’d like to see a shot of Scott’s beautiful creation. We told the kids that Frosty had come to visit us. They were mildly interested, as long as they could enjoy him from the warmth of the house.

In other quick news, baby #4 is doing great and getting very powerful in his movements. This is not very welcome at 3 in the morning. We learned from the ultrasound that his kidney is one millimeter too large for how far along I am. It seems that it is the right size for his measurements, just not for my due date. So, we have to have a perinatal ultrasound in a few months just to recheck. If you remember, both of the twins had similar issues with all 4 kidneys. In the end, only one of Luke’s continued to be too large after birth and a few months later. It corrected itself (like the other 3 kidneys), which is what we expect this time around, too. My doctor thought that it was probably hereditary, but no one ever detected it before because ultrasounds were not that accurate in the past. Plus, the chance that it will actually be an issue is VERY slim. It will most likely be just an inconvenience and a few thousand dollars worth of ultrasounds.
