Sleep! What's that?

Well here we are ending out week 26 and boy let me tell you how crazy it's been! I have had the hardest time sleeping. Let me explain that a little better. At the end of the day I am ready to go to bed, and that is exactly what I do! However I only sleep for about 3 to 5 hours then I am up, I mean wide awake as if it were 10am! Now Makalya is a very active girl but her movements don't bother me and it's not the reason for this "lack of sleep". I try to lay back down but I get to thinking about all the things that need to be done...and it's over, I'm up! Could I be nesting already? My girlfriend Tameca jokes that I better make myself get that sleep now, because it will be the last of it! (ha ha Meca!)
Check out the week 26 photo, I am really starting to look pregnant now! My belly is really rounding out but I havent gained any weight this week. I am still at 16 lbs total weight gain.
My OBGYN was on vacation last week, so I am hoping to hear what she has to say about the glucose screening test options! I really doubt I have gestational diabetes, my weight gain has been really good!
Have a great week everyone!

Baby Shower!

The date has been set!
Mark your calenders...Saturday September 27th!

Invitations are coming soon!

Raina and Tony's Wedding

Wow what a trip!




Raina and Tony's wedding was beautiful! I only wish I had more pictures! The darn camera died and I lost all of the pre-ceremony and ceremony pictures!!!
The wedding took place on the lovely island of Kauai right on the beach. Raina looked beautiful and the reception was a blast! Everything ran smoothly and as planned, no major drama here!





While in Hawaii Akida and I enjoyed a lovely sunset/snorkeling cruise with Raina and Tony. Raina and I were sick for most of the 6 hour cruise, but it was still a beautiful and fun trip!

Meeting and hanging out with both sides of the family was fun too!

About this blog...

So hopefully everyone has enjoyed the little website we put together about Makayla! But it is time to move on to bigger and better things! This blog will allow all of us to interact and share our thoughts, feelings, ideas, updates or anything else.
We will continue to update this blog with the Weekly Belly Shots, that everyone seems to enjoy, and continue to use it to keep everyone in touch with what is going on with the Thomas'!

My pregnancy has been really nice so far. No morning sickness, or any of the typically or abnormal symptoms. The first trimester I experienced the normal tiredness, but got that super shot of energy in the second trimester. My weight gain has been pretty smooth so far too...since I am 3 and 1/2 year post op of my gastric bypass surgery (GB), food hasn't been an issue at all! I only seem to need a little extra small meal/snack then I did before. I am totally in love with fruit, so that myth about craving fruit means your having a girl, must be true! At 25 weeks I have only gained 16 pounds, so that is pretty cool. However I am facing a small challenge about the glucose screening test for gestational diabetes (GD). It seems that gastric bypass mom's get super sick from that test, so my OBGYN and I are researching alternatives. But we are both confident that I do not have GD.

So we hope you can enjoy this blog! Feel free to subscirbe so you know when new things are happening here. And please leave comments, say hello, anything you feel!

Ciao for now!
