Jacob's big news and update on Lucas

When I got home from the hospital about 4 weeks ago, Jacob decided he wanted to start potty training.  I went with it, but didn't push him.  Well, this past Sunday, he went a lot of #1 on the potty!!  Its bee pretty exciting and he is doing pretty well.  Since he and Andrew are at daycare during the day, I did let daycare know and they are trying with him there too.  I don't want to get my hopes up since the little guy isn't even 2, but I am going with it :-)

On another note, Lucas appointment is scheduled for April 12 at 7:15 at Blank.  His MAG 3 (this is the one that takes a picture of his kidney to see if there's a blockage, he will need an IV) starts at 9 and the VCUG (this checks to see if he has bladder reflux and will have a catheter inserted) will follow at 10.  I will get to be with him the whole time so I feel better about that.  Then at 11 we meet with our specialist Dr. Auron to see what the next steps will be.  Please prayer for our little Lucas that the tests will go smoothly and we will get some answers as to what is going on with his kidney.  I am really praying we can just watch his kidney and not have surgery.  Also, he weighed 7lbs 13 oz yesterday (Monday).  Our PA was ok with his weight gain, but wants us to come back in a week as she would prefer to see an ounce a day.  I decided to pump and give him a bottle and he took a 3 oz bottle.  Total I pumped 12 oz, so I know he is getting enough he just gets a little lazy during his feeds :-)
