PHEW!!!!

False alarm!  Well kinda.  I saw the kidney specialist today and the news is much better.  Turns out that the protein that was claimed to have been so super high, actually isn't.  Turns out, per the kidney doc, that my OB jumped the gun a bit and in fact he does not begin to be concerned about kidney damage until the levels are TEN TIMES what mine were.  So while I am thankful that my OB is on the side of jumping the gun rather than sitting back and being care free, I am more thankful that it does not seem that I am having significant issues with my kidneys.  In fact he said that aside from the "little bit" of protein, my kidney function is just fine.  Phew! 

Now of course he is going to run me though the gammet of testing just to be sure, including an Ultrasound and an impressive number of tubes filled with blood.  He will see me back in a month and probably follow me though the pregnancy and possibly do a biopsy when the pregnancy is complete.  Until then though, Derek and I are sighing a HUGE sigh of relief!
