Week 21 Starts Today

Hi family and friends!

Today is May 8, 2008 and starts week 21 for Jellybean. Mom and baby are doing well. Crisi seems to be getting into the “Super Mom” phase of the pregnancy. She has tons of energy, lots of projects, and it’s go go go! That’s a welcome change from the sick-all-day first trimester.

Here are a couple of pictures from the week 18 ultrasound. In the first two, Jellybean was facing the camera and was opening and closing his mouth. As soon as I pare down the video to just the fun stuff, I’ll get it posted. (Unfortunately, I’ve been working out of town quite a bit and haven’t had much free time lately.)

We are doing well and hope you are too! – Trav & Cris

Ultrasound Video – Week 18, It’s a boy!

Here’s the video from our ultrasound for week 18. This is where we found out it’s a boy!

Travis has captioned parts of the video to make it a little easier to see what you’re looking at. We hope you enjoy!

We’re getting really excited and are so happy you all are sharing this special time with us!
Enjoy the show…

Week 18 Update: It’s a boy!!!

Hi Everyone,

Cris and I went in for the Week 18 ultrasound. The baby is getting much larger and we could see a lot more definition on the ultrasound. Almost immediately the baby kicked it’s legs up in the air and showed us his little package. There wasn’t any mistaking what we were looking at and the sonogram tech confirmed the baby was a boy!

I’ve added some pictures of Mom’s belly. (The ultrasound pictures are giving me some issues. I’ll get them up later.) I’ll hopefully have the ultrasound video up this weekend with some annotation to let everyone know what they’e looking at.

Cris is doing well without too much sickness these days. A lot of indigestion, but we’re working with the doctor on that.

And tonight we’re practicing our parenting skills by babysitting our neighbor’s five month old.

We miss you all,
Trav

Crisi has popped a belly!

Hi guys! Today is 15 weeks and 3 days! Cris’ belly has popped out and now we have a nice little belly to rub. The Jellybean in there is fluttering around and she describes it’s like the feeling you get when you ride over a bump on a roller coaster and have that moment of zero gravity in your stomach. If I get permission, I’ll post a picture.

This week Cris goes in to have blood drawn for her “quad” tests. I don’t know what the tests are, but we want them all to come out negative as I understand it. Two weeks later, we’ll have another ultrasound. Hopefully we’ll be able to determine the sex at that point.

Thanks for coming to the site!
