Another Iowa City day!

Today we had another check up in Iowa City.  We didn't have to leave our house until shortly after 10 this time.  My mom came to watch the kids.  It was nice to have her here for when Austin got out of school (as opposed to us taking the girls to her house).  We first had an apt. with neonatology (high risk pediatrics).  They pretty much did everything that we have been seeing AEA do...check her reflexes, how she kicks her legs, how she follows things with her eyes, etc.  They also took a weight (9lbs. 9.8oz.) and height (22").  She is moving along perfectly with her developments so we are really happy there.  They said they don't need to see her back until June when we go to see genetics.  I am kind of wondering how necessary it is to continue to see them since we go to our regular doctor check ups and also have AEA coming in once a month to work with her and watch her development, but we'll just wait and see, maybe we will end up canceling our next apt.  Our next apt. was with urology.  Eden was so tired and just laid calm sleeping on the table while the tech did her ultrasound.  It didn't take very long and then we had to go to our apt. to talk with the doctor about what they found.  The first thing the nurse did was take her temp and then had us put a bag on her to catch a sample of pee.  Then the resident came in from urology and was asking all these questions like, "have you ever noticed her in pain when she pees?" and "are you sure she is peeing consistently?" etc.  We were getting really worried until he told us her bladder was no longer distended (enlarged).  He said he really had no explanation for why it was distended both times it was checked when she was born, but that it isn't now!!  He said we never  have to come back to him again!  GREAT NEWS!  That's one doctor checked off the list!!  We are continually amazed at God's grace!  Eden is such a miracle to us and we couldn't be happier to have had another smooth day in Iowa City!
