Bye Bye Gigi

Gigi passed away overnight last night after a very short struggle with lung cancer. We are blessed that she did not suffer and was resting peacefully in her own home, as she always wanted. It has been a tough few weeks for everyone, but she is now in a better place. We love you so much, and we will miss you, Gigi!

Tumbling

Buddy has taken another tumbling class. This time, we took a class a little closer to home. A former student of mine (and her mom) has opened up a dance/gymnastics studio. They do a great job with the kids!

Here is Buddy in the white t-shirt!

And, "ta-da!" They have to do ta-da after each somersault. Due to many doctor's appointments, Buddy won't be going back to tumbling class this fall. Things are just getting too hectic!

28 Weeks

Things are going great at 28 weeks. I have had to slow down a bit because my belly just gets in the way! I have been more tired, and I still have an annoying ache in my back. It doesn't hurt very much, and I don't feel it at all while standing or laying in bed. Luckily, I don't get much time to sit during the day anyway! The most annoying part is when I am driving in the car, but I can deal with it.

We had another sonogram this week (I bet we have had more than 10 so far), and the babies look awesome. They each weigh 2 and a half pounds and are doing all of the normal things in utero. From here on out, we will have a sonogram once a week to make sure the babies show no signs of stress. My body still does not show any signs of early labor or dilation. I am very lucky to still be able to work, and we are hoping my body cooperates so I can work for several more weeks. I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, although my blood sugar does not seem out of the ordinary to me. I will find out more when I meet with the nutritionist this week.
