More medical stuff

I'm using this blog to replace journaling, so some of this won't be terribly interesting! At Madison's one month appointment she was 23 1/2 inches and 9 lbs 13 oz which puts her in the 50% for weight and +97% for height. Alexis went in on the same day for a check-up. She was 30 lbs and 30" which puts her in the 50% for both! Drew was 23 lbs which puts him in the 10% range. Drew has been having penile, for lack of better wording, problems. He was screaming because it hurt so we went to the Dr. He had a little blood in his urine, which led us to do an ultrasound to check for a few things. None of the things it could have been showed up which was great. They did discover a hydrocele. This, from what I understand, is just excess fluid which isn't too big of a deal. But, in true Drew fashion he made sure that it wasn't just something that would fix itself. They think it's a hydrocele that comes and goes, which means that there's a hole in his abdominal wall and it would need to be closed so that he doesn't get a hernia or infection. We have an appointment with a pediatric urologist next week to see if that is really what is going on, hopefully not!! We're also going to be checking his eye because it leaks clear fluid. We're hoping for just a dry eye but it could be a clogged tear duct. Poor kid just isn't having much luck in the health department! Hopefully he out grows it sooner rather than later!!

You guys have been pretty busy it sounds like. How is it with three kids. I can't believe those pictures that are adorable....i'm serious too cute! Madison is getting so big already. We have to get together when things settle down. We sold our house and our moving tomorrow. It went really fast, I will tell you the story when I see you.
