Cute things!!!

So we were pleasantly surprised the other day when in the mail we find the most ADORABLE thing ever!
Yup! It's a onesie that says "Captain Adorable" and we LOVE it!! Julie and Greg sent it to us and we couldn't be happier!! Charlie is totally going to live in this thing :) Thanks you guys!! You're too awesome :)

As for on this end things are going very well. I had a Dr's appointment a couple of days ago and things couldn't be better! Well as far as how the baby is doing, as for me I've been having some bad round ligament pain (It feels like a pulled muscle on my side) and my feet are swollen a bit but the doctor said that both of these things are perfectly normal and nothing is wrong. I had a glucose test as well and things are great!

I've also been having a lot of requests for "belly pictures" and I gotta say there's really not a whole lot of belly to take a picture of, I mean I'm a lot thicker around the middle but nothing exciting to see...that's why I haven't been showing a lot of pictures. Well here's a picture of us at Comic Con last week.And for those Ghost Hunters fans out there...yes that is Donna and that Ghost Hunters International guy :)

We've also begun taking a couple of baby classes at the nearby hospital. It's a little gruesome at times but not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be :)

So overall things are good, Charlie is good and kicking around like crazy and we're just plugging along and looking forward to the upcoming Baby Bash in September! Woohoo!!! Thanks again Julie and Greg!! You guys are awesome!!!!!

This month's appointment!

Yup! Already another appointment! Nothing too exciting although I must say it is exciting to hear that everything is great! Everything is normal and looking good and we couldn't be happier!

As for me (Karen) the pain in my hips has subsided A LOT yet I have added on the addition of yucky heartburn (ick!) It seems that as soon as one thing gets better I get another thing to make me uncomfortable! Also when it gets super hot out here my feet swell a bit...but that's to be expected in 108 degree weather I suppose. Thank goodness things have cooled down a bit.

Charlie is doing good. He loves to kick around a lot at the end of the day when I get home from work. But by the time Bill gets home from work at night he's not moving as much. Bill calls him a big tease because he doesn't move much for him...except for when Bill pokes at him..I think Charlie gets angry and pokes back HAHAHAH the bonding has already begun!

Also we have been very fortunate that my cousin Julie has offered to throw us a baby shower! She is so awesome! We're pretty sure it'll be at the end of September but I'm sure you all will be getting e-mails/invitations as soon as me and Bill get our act together and put a guest list together! So keep your eyes peeled!

The next doctor's appointment is at the end of the month so stay tuned until then! I'm not sure what'll go on at that appointment but I'll keep you all posted!
