Eight Weeks To Go!!!
Today is Thursday, July 24 – Week 32. In the last couple of weeks Cris’ belly has been getting bigger and she’s looking great. Everything has been going well with one exception. We found out that Cris had Gestational Diabetes. Basically, her body is processing sugars slower than normal due to the extra high level of hormones flowing through her body. She is on a special diet now and that has brought her sugar levels back to normal.
After the baby is born, the gestational diabetes goes away immediately. And fortunately, it shouldn’t affect the baby now that her sugar levels are back to normal.
I’ve included some recent pictures. The first two are from Mike & Elizabeth Dwyer’s wedding. The rest are from Crisi’s Baby Shower. We hope you are all doing well!

The baby is kicking!!!! PLUS pictures from Makaela’s 30th Birthday!
We’ve hit a new landmark with the jellybean – he’s kicking away at mommy now. It took a while for me to feel him because of the position of my placenta, but he’s making up for lost time now. Travis even felt him Saturday morning. It was a little disarming…I was just laying down and started feeling these little spasms every once in a while. It took me a little while to finally put together what I was feeling. ( I even had to call my mom for confirmation.) And, of course, my belly is growing everyday. It seems that I’m hungry all the time, and while sometimes I just need a snack, sometimes I eat more food in one sitting than I ever thought possible! The Florida heat is starting to get to me a little bit when I’m out and about, but so far I’m handling it ok. So far, the whole pregnancy has been going great!
Over Memorial Day weekend, we celebrated Trav’s sister Makaela’s 30th birthday. We headed over to Trav’s Mom’s house on Sunday for dinner, presents and cake. Makaela is also preggers (about 30 weeks) and we got some great pictures of all of us, including her adorable 3 year old, Lucas. We hope you’re all doing great and we’d love to hear from you. Take care!
